Along the Antarctic Peninsula
Jan 22, 2020 18:40:33 #
After traversing the Drake Passage with relatively calm weather, by noon of our second day at sea we began to see the sights of Antarctica. It was dreary clouds and a bit of rain at first, but wonderfully exciting at the same time. Then the morning of day three after being wakened by the anchor dropping, I threw back the curtains to see this marvelous sight.

Waking up to that view was amazing and yes Linda it did take our breaths away. I nearly forgot to take the photos I was so stunned. Then I looked down and could see an addition to my landscape. Now I have several other layers I could add to the foreground.

Thanks, It’s one of about five or so. I liked how they appear as underwater rockets.

It’s the first thing you notice as they propel themselves underwater. Then you see the trails of air bubbles behind them. They trap air in the feather layers and squeeze it out like a rocket blast to help propel themselves when leaping out onto the surface. As they swim along, some of that air escapes.
