We made our first morning landing only after one day of crossing the Drake Passage! The usual fog and rain dispersed, and the sun came out to shine and highlight the wonders of Barrientos and the colonies of chinstrap and gentoo penguins. We were so lucky that even an Adelie penguin showed up!
The afternoon was also delightful as we admired the basalt of Edinburg Hill and enjoyed a wonderful presentation from our expedition team. It was our first day in Antarctica and we could not ask for a better start!
