Today was our last
full day in Antarctica… time flew by! In the morning, the
ship sailed into the caldera on Deception Island. We went onshore for a few
minutes just to look around, but it was very
cold so we didn’t stay long.
After we took a few
pictures of the boat and the few penguins that were by the water’s edge, we
took a quick zodiac tour around the volcano.
As you can see, we came
across a large group of seals—maybe 30 or more of them! There was a mix of
Crabeater seals and Weddell seals and they were all so close! I wish we had
seen Leopard or Southern Elephant seals, but this was still pretty cool.
Today was the
coldest day by far and I’m VERY thankful it wasn’t this cold and windy for the
rest of the trip.
