Time flies by! The last 7 days have been hectic, doing at least one landing every day, some days 2, plus extra activities like cruising, snow shoeing and kayaking. And now we have come to our last landing of this trip: Port Lockroy. At Port Lockroy, a tiny island scattered with gentoo penguin rookeries, amidst mighty glacier fronts, you can find the "Penguin Post Office", run by the British Antarctic Survey.

Besides sending loads of post cards all around the world, a small group signed up for getting out and experiencing the Antarctic nature one more time, on a snow shoe hike. Arctic Nature Guides Tessa & Johannes were more than happy to take them out!

And so it became time again to return to Ushuaia, Argentina. On our way out of the Antarctic Peninsula, the captain found time to do a little more cruising in Wilhelmina Bay. Here, we got a very nice good buy wave from several whales that feed in this krill rich bay. A perfect end of a perfect trip. Until next time!
