Our route from entering Antarctic waters until we headed back to Ushuaia Argentina.

1st landing was Chiriguano Bay just after we passed between Anvers Island and Brabant island

Our 2nd day, we moored in the bay off Damoy Point, off Weincke Island to the west.

Our 3rd day we went very early to Viking Polaris’s discovery Island, where they were first to find colonies of Gentoo penguins and request exclusive landing rights from IAATO.

Then over lunch we sailed north to Orne Harbor for us to be able to touch land of the peninsula.

Our 4th day we visited Cuverville Island, where we had our only grey day, but it was a spectacular sight with snow flurries. This was our chance to kayak in a very smooth bay. We also did a special ops boat ride and the landing! Great day!

Our last day in Antarctic waters, we were able to see both Gentoo and chinstrap penguins with chick’s in the Aitcho Islands, on Cecilia Island. It is far enough north that the penguins are a couple weeks ahead of the nesting Gentoos on Cuverville Island, where saw only eggs, no chicks.

Heading across the Drake north then west, to miss a low pressure area of bad weather
