Comments

Those with enough time on their hands (most people on board) and sufficient patience (less prevalent) have been rewarded with numerous minke whale sightings. The calm conditions that the pack ice allows makes for easy (easier) whale spotting conditions. With travel through the ice coming to an end shortly, we wonder if the Southern Ocean will be kind to us, as for many, this is their first experience of voyage life. The Davis tradition of Trash TV Tuesday has continued, and voyage support personnel can now confirm, that it is truly trash and yet, still a suitable way to pass the time.
