2011-01-20 SOUTH ATLANTIC, AT SEA, 919 Office

All through the wonderful Antarctic 2011 Expedition, Apartment 919 was also an office with 4 laptops humming when we were not on trips ashore, in zodiacs, on the Bridge, on the 7th deck observing the wildlife, or eating in the 4 restaurants.

2011-01-20 CHILE, Cape Horn, Albatross Walk

Quite an exciting wet landing in the swell on the slippery rocks! 


The most apt sculpture at this place is the albatross 

How beautiful is that symbol? 




2011-01-20 CHILE, Cape Horn Arrival

Our luck with the weather continued and although there was a 4 metre/12 feet swell, the Captain made the decision that we would make a zodiac landing at Cape Horn, the southern most tip of South America.


A Chilean Gunboat came to check us out!
