Comments
Blue skies, sunshine, icebergs, emperor penguins and the occasional whale. And just when you think things can't get any better, you remember it's Taco Tuesday! The newly embarked passengers are quickly settling into the rhythms and routines of life on the AIVIQ, as well as catching up on rest and long hot showers (after a year of water restrictions at Davis). We are making good progress through the pack ice and should be out in the open ocean at some stage tomorrow.
