We were promised some waves today and waves we got, however none more than 5 metres high. The sky was blue, the sea was bright and shimmering, and there were many birds and albatrosses around the ship, enjoying the thermals. We saw snowy and grey-headed albatrosses, and a special treat of six light-mantled albatrosses first thing in the morning. Guests had a busy day today, with a science recap of Antarctica and a teatime storytelling of the remarkable art of Edward Wilson, who died with British explorer Scott on his return from the South Pole. Guests attended an amusing knot-tying session, a talk about Drake's Passage and its weather patterns, and the different climates of Antarctica. A few guests visited the Bridge and were given fascinating insight into the this complex maritime operation.
