Today we returned passports to our guests, a bittersweet moment that served as a reminder that we have only one more day left together on this remarkable voyage. The Guest Scientists delivered a fascinating talk on the Southern Ocean food chain, followed by a lively Q&A session on whales and dolphins. As if perfectly timed, the session was accompanied by an exciting wildlife encounter, with Atlantic spotted dolphins bow riding alongside the ship. In the afternoon, guests enjoyed a Q&A with the Captain and Officers, and after dinner the Expedition Team hosted an entertaining quiz. The day concluded with an insightful video offering a glimpse into our ship photographer’s life in Svalbard.
