1 Rounding Cape Horn.
2 From the bridge. The expedition team were assessing the possibility of a zodiac landing.
3 The weather at Cape Horn is notoriously bad and chances for landings are no higher than 50/50.
4 Turned out it was our lucky day!
5 The landing site looked good and calm enough - don't be fooled, the swell was still pretty substantial.
6 Approaching the landing site in our zodiac.

14 "I am the albatross that waits for you at the end of the earth. I am the forgotten soul of the dead sailors who crossed Cape Horn from all the seas of the world. But they did not die in the furious waves. Today they fly in my wings to eternity in the last trough of the Antarctic wind" - Sara vial.
