On the morning of the 18th of February, National Geographic Explorer made its first stop of the day on Petermann Island, and our guests had the option to go ashore for the first time in Antarctica. Petermann Island had quite a few grown chicks, both Adelie chicks and gentoo. For those who did not want to go ashore, they could of course join for a Zodiac cruise. It was a beautiful first stop in Antarctica.
In the afternoon, we enjoyed listening to National Geographic Photographer Jason Edwards and our guest speaker from Dartmouth.
During dinner we had quite a few humpbacks feeding with us. They were showing incredible displays of lunge feeding and other playful behavior.
