our landing this afternoon was much more successful, in that we actually got on land. earlier was a success in that it was a shockingly beautiful ride around and also we neither got eaten nor died on slippery algae death rocks. on our second outing, we had a breathtaking encounter with humpback whales which I didn’t capture because I’ve pretty much given up trying to capture wildlife with my crappy phone. we were all profoundly moved by their proximity and elegance of being. then once we got ashore (which I had to take a motion-sickness pill in order to adjust to because now my sea legs make me dizzy on land- UGH) we had an afternoon laughing at/with penguins, who are so awkward and weird and wonderful. and the glaciers in the bay looked like we were on another planet. I am definitely falling in love with this crazy place at the bottom of the world #protectantarctic @greenpeace @dkharbour
