The famous Lemaire Channel, also called the ‘Kodak Gap’, lived up to it’s reputation as one of the most scenic places on the Antarctic Peninsula. We braved the fierce winds on deck to watch our skilled Bridge Team navigate us through the dense ice between steep mountains. After lunch, we arrived at Pléneau Island, where we had both a landing with spectacular views and penguins, and small boat cruising through a majestic iceberg graveyard. We also had science boat outings from here, where we collected oceanographic data and plankton samples.
