Some time since we last wrote as we were in various small bays without satellite connection.
The last two days were again incredible. It gets better all the time. We kayaked amongst the penguins yesterday. It was wonderful to see Callum's face. At the end of the day we zodiaced through a cemetery of icebergs, trapped in a very shallow bay. Sometimes the ocean is covered with hundreds of ice structures, all in different shapes. It makes it all look very surreal and incredibly beautiful. We literally spend hours looking outside. Last night we passed the Antarctic circle. Thanks to the wonderful weather we've been having we are getting further South than other expeditions. It brings us to some really spectacular Southern parts of the peninsula.
The weather today was again outstanding. What a trip. Two hour kayak this morning, followed by whale watching (two pods of orcas).
Woke up again at 4am this morning and was blown away by the morning light. It does not really get dark here although the sun officially disappears for 1.5 hours at night.
Callum is going out soon with the penguinologists to count a colony of Adelie penguins. He's constantly super excited.
I have never ever in my life seen so much beauty. Pristine wilderness. The most dramatic and beautiful place on earth.
