Comments
Nuyina is on the long approach to Davis as we make are way through the ice of Prydz Bay. The bay sits between Lars Christensen Coast and Ingrid Christensen Coast, not surprising then that it was extensively explored by Norwegian whalers in the 1930s.
It is a beautiful spot full of interesting ice patterns and teeming with wildlife. The perfect place to be onboard is in the observation deck where you can gaze almost 180 degrees to see the natural wonders slide by Nuyina as we make our way to the Davis anchorage.
Regards, Chris & Andrew
