Overnight we traveled through the Gerlache Strait to arrive at Danco Island in the morning. At Danco Island we had a split landing to visit a gentoo penguin colony. For those who were feeling energized, a hike to the top of the island was available and it offered stunning views of the Errera Channel.

In the afternoon, we transited back through part of the Gerlache Strait to make a continental landing at Portal Point! The dark, cloudy vista really created a memorable atmosphere and ended a great day in Antarctica.
