Antarctic Peninsula

 

The Antarctic scenery has been awesome. We only saw the penguins on icebergs a couple of hundred metres away but we are hoping to remedy that when we get to the Falklands in a couple days.

After our last day in the Antarctic, we then have another bumpy trip across Drake Passage and north to the Falkland Islands
