Frustration

The title of today's blog refers to both the ship's WiFi and the journey!  Today we have been on a huge detour to avoid the unseasonable ice.  The weather has been calm and very grey - we have been travelling through fog which is caused by the Atlantic  Convergence where warmer air meets cold.  But, on the plus side, it is flat calm - though the wind is bitter if you go on deck. Tomorrow there should be a landing on Half Moon Island which is part of the Antarctic Archipelago and also another landing at a Polish research station.  Let's hope so.

I am posting the photos that I intended to show on Boxing Day (I think...?) because at last I am able to use my laptop again.

So here is the ice we went through on Boxing Day + the Silver Fulmar + the whale sightings...

  1. I'd swear the Silver Fulmar was a pigeon if it wasn't for the chunks of pack ice in shot...
