It’s a two day journey down across the Scotia Sea towards the Antarctic peninsular. The weather is so changeable. One minute we are in fierce snow storms the next bright sunshine. To accompany our journey a pod of fin whales cruised along about half a mile from the boat the spouts from their blow holes clearly visible. The days were filled with lectures and a visit to the engine rooms. And food of course. The food on this boat is fantastic and all the passengers will probably leave much heavier than they arrived.
