Afternoon of 4th January – Graham Passage

Having spent an amazing morning at Portal Point, Charlotte Bay we are now heading for Graham Passage.

So, as the blurb above says, Graham Passage is located north of Charlotte Bay between the Antarctic continent and Bluff Island.

It is indeed a stunning, narrow, glaciated passage providing great potential for icebergs, brash ice and sighting marine mammals.

Ensuring we had reasonably distance in case ice sheared off. It can cause quite a wave.

More Weddell seals around.

At one point we did land and everyone but me left the zodiac to explore. I simply did not have the energy.

An iceberg that looks like a whale to me.

Even though we had great company and clearly fabulous scenery, I ended up not enjoying the last part of the zodiac. I was so tired and just collapsed into bed after a hot shower as I was shaking so violently.

I didn’t go to see the polar plunge or the BBQ but Garrie bought me some food and took some photos. Finally he has picked up a camera. 😀 I think he did a great job, what do you think?

There was a Recap and Briefing but I could not even watch it in the cabin I was so ill. Again Garrie took a few pics. Clearly info on humpbacks and where we are heading next.

I must have been sick as I feel I have seen some of these photos for the first time, though I know I took most of them. Ah well let’s see what tomorrow brings.
