During our
crossing south to Buenos Aires we have been lucky enough to see some wildlife. Especially
next to St. Peter and St. Paul Archipelago and when we passed the Islands
Fernando de Noronha we had many birds around the vessel. Later on, when we came
nearer to the Brazilian coast we saw nearly day by day groups of Humpback
Whales – Are they on the way south to Antarctica like us? Who will be there
first? Who will be the winner of this long trip to the cold but fertile
Antarctic waters? Will we ever get an answer to these questions? Perhaps not,
but if you like you are welcome to chare our experiences; we hope you enjoy the
pictures made by our board photographer, the expedition team and especially some
of our guests.
And this is a more or less secret message to John: If I am not right with the birds - feel free to correct me - you are the Ornithologist! I will prepare you a coffee as a thank you as soon as you are back in Buenos Aires.
