We awoke this morning to low clouds and beautiful views as we transited through Peltier Channel. The winds were too strong for us to make a landing at Damoy Point, but when we exited into the Gerlache Strait to look for wildlife, we were met with a large pod of killer whales!

In the afternoon, we made it to Fournier Bay where some ventured outside in Zodiacs and the rest got to kayak among the Antarctic ice. Humpback whales were our constant companions as we explored the calm waters of the bay.

The day ended with a surprise after-dinner-landing at Danco Island, giving us our first visit to a large penguin colony. Enjoying time with the gentoo penguins was the perfect way to cap off an amazing day.
