First day in Antarctica


Yes, that is snow in the foreground. It was snowing sideways.

Elephant Island (what you can see of it) is our first stop. It is where an explorer by the name of Earnest Shakleton made landfall after losing his boat and spending 2 winters on the Antarctic ice. Incredible story!

How many people do you think experience a snowstorm on a cruise ship?

If is funny to see the pictures of a few days ago and everyone is short sleeve shirts and now to see the heavy coats, snow and ice.
