Today's outings are labeled 6 and 7: Niko Harbor and Cuverville Island. Niko has a view of the "Forbidden Plateau".
We woke up and looked out our window to see ice floes with penguins floating by.
The water was remarkably calm and made for good reflections.
Before breakfast, the view from the observation deck is stunning.
But it is even better outside!
I join Poldi on the deck and prepare my camera.
Morning light (6:30 am)
One of two lifeboats, each with a capacity of 150!
We venture out into the ice-filled bay.
Video: A whale is sighted.
There's always something in the way, but you may see a glimpse of a dark hump appearing briefly at 0:26 at the left of the frame near the other zodiac.
