After a day and a half of smooth sailing across the Drake Passage from Ushuaia we spied some icebergs.
Today we took our first steps on Antarctic soil pebbles at Yankee Harbour where we were greeted by several representatives of the local wildlife.
It was cold but we were quite snug in all our protective gear I was able to get around with the assistance of my walking poles. My greatest fear was falling out of the Zodiac in which we travelled from the Scenic Eclipse to our landing spot but, thanks to the care and consideration of the crew, I had a dry landing.
