Monroe Island, South Orkney Islands
12 January at sea
In the morning we encountered many Fin whales.
13 January
Monroe Island Zodiac cruise
This was an extra stop on the way to the Antarctic peninsula. The South Orkney Islands are claimed by Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. The Zodiac cruise was through ice and around spectacular glaciers. Leopard, Crab, and Weddell seals, Snowy and Wilson's petrels. Sea ice. We did not call at Elephant Island.
