Antarctica: December 2022: Day 6: Crossing the Antarctic Circle

Antarctica

Day 6: At sea

Breakfast up in C.Green's as opposed to Two-Seventy.

Smoked salmon breakfast wrap doesn't look like much, but a nice change from heavier food.

Southern fulmars.

Southern fulmars flying in formation.

Calm day crossing the Drake Passage.

Greek salad was not really a greek salad?

Veal loin was pretty good.

More like a chocolate mousse rather than a cake.

One of the hot tubs next to one of the two igloos.

Outside seating, aft on deck 8.

Hot tub.

Crossing the Antarctic Circle right about now.

Now south of the Antarctic Circle.

Science hub on deck 8. Sadly never saw it in actual use.

Heading even further south.

Tried a lighter breakfast up at C.Green's on deck 8 instead of the main dining room (Two-Seventy) on deck 5 for a change. The smoked salmon wrap didn't look like much, but it actually wasn't bad. A few bird sightings in the afternoon, second day of skipping lunch, then another surprisingly decent dinner, this time of veal loin, before crossing the Antarctic Circle in the evening.

Have to say that much like crossing the equator, crossing the Antarctic Circle itself doesn't look like anything different-- but still cool to do. And as a geographer, definitely appeals to the nerd in me to say I've done so?
