Our arrival in Antarctica is heralded by a continuation of fantastic weather. The striking Half Moon gives us a fantastic glimpse into the overwhelming natural environments that await us. Gentoo penguin, whale bones, and glaciers, it has it all. The afternoon we visit the legendary Deception Island where a record number of people take the chance to polar plunge! Amidst the rubble and rust of days gone by we are struck by the remoteness and semi-alien landscaped that are common in Antarctica. Can the days ahead top this at all?
