After a wonderfully sunny day yesterday, National Geographic Resolution cruised overnight to the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula. We traveled south to avoid some weather, enjoying talks by naturalists about the importance of Antarctic krill and explorers of Antarctica. By the afternoon, we made it to Mikkelson Harbor and hopped into Zodiacs to cruise around on a very wet afternoon. We saw a gentoo penguin colony on D’Hainaut Island and enjoyed observing nearby icebergs. We returned to the ship for a wine and cheese tasting and some beautiful cruising through iceberg-filled waterways.
