Bronwyn Posted February 9 #5 Share Posted February 9 Sorry don’t know why it is so overexposed; probably a file format thing. Will have a look at converting to another format so I can edit … but after lunch😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronwyn Posted February 9 #9 Share Posted February 9 Artlee, it was quite unbelievable to be honest! We even saw whales just off our balcony between us and the iceberg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare highplanesdrifters Posted February 10 #12 Share Posted February 10 20 hours ago, Bronwyn said: We saw several seals on the top It begs the question, How did they get up there? I guess the Orcas will have trouble tipping this iceberg. Thanks. Hoping we'll get to see this amazing site in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwyn Posted February 10 #13 Share Posted February 10 Re the seals - in the evening briefing/recap last night, the seal expert member of the expedition team said they had all thought about possible ways for the seals being there and the most likely hypothesis was that there must be sloped areas in other parts we didn’t see which enabled them to slide down to the water and haul out again. She said judging by the speed some of the were moving across the ice, they weren’t emaciated or starving. We came across the iceberg on our way to South Georgia. It has been a highlight in an otherwise mostly disappointing cruise weather-wise. The Antarctic part had few landings, high winds, rough seas and poor visibility. Now in South Georgia but no zodiacs today due high winds and not much scenic viewing due low clouds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
