On Location: Emperors, Chinstraps, and Icebergs – Oh My!
We had a rather blustery stop at Paulet Island, but our reward was an emperor penguin right on the ice near our ship. Most likely, it was one of the penguin chicks we saw sitting on parental feet in our March of the Penguins trip last month… We greeted it with a hearty “Hi! Remember us?” At recap we toasted the youngster with a glass of champagne.
Brown Bluff was also a windy stop, but once we landed it was calm in the lee of the bluff. We were able to do some really wonderful Zodiac cruising among spectacular icebergs and had a picture perfect time with two humpback whales who preempted our recap. We’re looking forward to Bailey’s Head tomorrow and a landing among the chinstraps!
