Antarctica - The Antarctic Sounds

Sadly this is our last day sailing in the Antarctic, and we woke to clear skies.  Not the blue we would have liked, but clearer than yesterday.

We went out on desk to find it covered with ice and verrry cold.  The landscape was shades from white to black, and flecks of fine powder snow swirled around everywhere.





The day was spent sailing through bay and past enormous glaciers, and seeing some whales spouting.  We went through one passages and we were sitting up in The crow’s nest, so we could see the whole straight in front of us.  There seemed to be whale spouts everywhere in front of us, we must have seen more than twenty.





Late afternoon we sailed past St George Island, out of Admiralty Bay and into open water.

Bye bye Antarctic Sound.. it was brilliant.
