Antarctica

We cruised in the Gerlach Channel before landing at Neko Harbour. A spectucalr sunset cruise through the Lemaire Channel concluded our first day in Antarctica.

We went ashore on Detaille Island to visit British 'Base W' and enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise through The Gullet.

In the morning we were anchored in Marguerite Bay, off Porcquoi Pas Island. In the afternoon we took The Polar Plunge.

We landed on Booth Island, Port Charcot. This is one of the few landing sites on the Antarctic Peninsula where all three species of brushtail penguins - Adélie, Gentoo and Chinstrap - nest together.

That morning we went ashore too Port Lockroy, during the afternoon we cruised through Paradise Bay.
