Bergs and Emperors


We are now almost entirely surrounded by ice, and we have seen our first bergs. The photo is one of the first bergs we came across as the sun was setting. I have been spending a lot of time on the front of the boat or in the bridge. We have seen a lot more seals and have now come really close to a few emperor penguins! I got a little excited because there was a possibility that I would get to go into Casey station to have a look at some of the equipment there, but because the boat can't get close enough most of the low priority things will be dropped off the list. The weather is looking really good for the helicopters to get going...
