Port Lockroy was interesting, because it brought an historical perspective to our journey – we learnt what it was like to live and work in the Antarctic in the 1940s through the 1960s. Oh, and we had a chance to send postcards and buy stuff!!Thirty lucky passengers had the opportunity to cruise in our Polar Cirkle boats on the southward leg of the Lemaire channel – this is a very nice way to see the imposing walls of this scenic spot, which we have been offering as an extra to our passengers.
We closed the day with a beautiful landing at Petermann Island, the southernmost point of our journey. There we saw Adélie penguins, which also had some chicks – and giant petrels trying to include the former in their supper menu!
