Day 5: Now we get rough seas AND snow!
Day 5: Sitting in the captain’s chair: the ship had an open bridge policy, which we frequently took advantage of both for the great views and the interaction with the crew.
Day 6: Land ho! The first land we had seen in two days - a welcome sight.
Day 6: Loading the Zodiacs for our first boat tour in Antarctica.
Day 6: Walking on the fast ice: A sheet of sea ice spread between two land masses. We could feel the tides gently lifting the ice beneath us - pretty amazing.
Day 7: The Lemaire Channel. Enough said.
Day 7: Had to do it. Loved my pretty blue boots while kayaking in Antarctica.
Day 8: The only grass species in Antarctica. I had to risk getting in trouble from the naturalists to take this picture.
Day 8: Gentoo penguins at Cuverville Island. Notice in the background the penguins laying on their eggs on nests made of small stones.
Day 8: Those penguins sure have a terrible landscape to look at each day.

What about food on the boat? A work out room? limited water usage?
