There is not much that could have changed today to make it more spectacular. It started with kayaking at Wilhelmina Bay and then Zodiac cruising around massive icebergs, where a humpback whale passed right under Zodiacs, so close that people could look into its eye.
When we weren’t being surrounded by whales, we got to take our first steps on the Antarctic Continent at Portal Point. And there was even a wedding! Marvin and Chenet, a Waiter and a Hotel Stewardess on National Geographic Endurance, said their sweet nuptials on the Antarctic Continent. It was truly a heartfelt day. But before the evening came to a close, killer whales were spotted by Able-Bodied Seaman Nelson, so we got to travel with a pod of killer whales as the light started to fade around the Southern Ocean. What a way to end another magnificent day aboard National Geographic Endurance.
