Steaming just outside the edge of the ice in (relatively) calm seas, the continent remains out of view on our port side obscured by fog and cloud banks. What is in view however, is the ice edge and a parade of increasingly large icebergs presenting a spectacle that can be enjoyed from the relative comfort of the observation lounge with a warm drink, or alternately from the upper decks for those willing to brave the cold and the wind to get that perfect photograph.
