TRAVELS & ADVENTURES
Having completed our morning excursion to Brown Bluff, the Sea Explorer is now heading north-west through the Antarctic Sound en-route to our next landing site, Neko Harbor, on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula. This is no ordinary sea excursion; an incredible number of tabular icebergs, both large and small, are omnipresent. In fact, this is known as "Iceberg Alley," aptly named by team members of the Swedish South Polar Expedition of 1903.
We've left West Falkland and have traveled overnight on the Sea Explorer to Yorke Bay on East Falkland. This is only four miles northeast of Stanley, the capital city. Unlike yesterday when we had beautiful conditions while visiting East Falkland, the weather today is blustery with a sprinkle of rain. This is the South Atlantic Ocean with its unpredictable and evanescent weather patterns. I'm learning to suck it up and expect the unexpected!
