Day 12 – and Day 4 in Antarctica
Over the past few days, we’ve experienced so many incredible impressions – and today was no different.
In the morning, we started with a landing at XX. There, we went on a hike alongside a small penguin colony and were also able to observe sea lions. Afterwards, we explored the area by Zodiac and entered what is called a “Soup of Whales”. It was absolutely incredible… in every direction, you could see whales, and we even witnessed whales breaching twice. A truly spectacular experience!
After lunch, we prepared for our second Zodiac expedition. We were near Enterprise Island and first headed to an old Norwegian shipwreck called the “Wreck of Governor”. This ship has been there since 1915, after it was intentionally run aground by the captain due to a fire, in order to save the crew.
Afterwards, we continued observing the wildlife in the area before returning to our expedition ship after about two hours.
Following a short warm-up, we attended the daily briefing for tomorrow. We will be heading to the South Shetland Islands – we’re really excited to see what awaits us there!
