I apologize that the blog postings are not happening as quickly as I would hope. The person in charge of communication has had some trouble uploading data into the satellite. This morning I got up at about 5:00 am and looked out my port window and there were icebergs floating all around. The expedition team was called on deck for viewing. It was -5 degrees Celsius and it was foggy and snowing. The wind is the most difficult part, because it will freeze any skin if it is exposed too long. Icebergs are actually quite stunning and the blue hues expressed under the water are beautiful. This area is called iceberg alley and you can immediate understand why. The captain turned our ship and went into the Weddle Sea where we were about 100 miles from where Sir Ernest Shackleton'sship
Endurance was caught in the ice. His story is quite an amazing lesson in leadership. If you are interested, his book is called South. The entire expedition was on deck snapping pictures. The great thing about digital photography is that you can take as many pictures as your memory card will hold, then review and delete later. This is awesome, because youdon't worry about film and you don't miss a shot. This morning we were ableto observe; fur seal feeding on penguin and three Humpback whales.This afternoon we are headed to shore. If the weather continues to be foggyand windy, it is going to be extremely cold.
