It was one of the most incredible days on the Antarctic peninsula! Our morning started at Spert Island, a truly magical place to take a Zodiac cruise and a favorite spot of many as we cruised through narrow passages and under a granite tunnel (up to four times for some lucky individuals!). The scenery alone was stunning, but beyond the beautiful landscape, a curious humpback whale was seen along the coastline. It spent time swimming around and under a couple of Zodiacs, a mesmerizing experience for even the most traveled adventurer. Yet that was only the start, because killer whales were spotted before lunch, and seeing these cetaceans up close and personal is always a magical experience. Our afternoon was spent at Palaver Point. We hiked up a snowy hill for a stunning view and got our first glimpse of penguin chicks. As the day wound down, the Antarctic peninsula was not done showing off its splendor. The sun slowly dipped towards the edge of the horizon, and the sky illuminated into a fiery landscape.
