SPERT ISLAND

 020522. Glacier day so they say

I am up at 0400 for a really nice sunrise, looks like we will have a sunny day today. Plan is to Zodiac cruise in the morning and afternoon. 

Well it was not a sunny day but moody foggy day at Spert Island, really kewl formations with ice and fog. We saw several different birds and even 3 fur seals. Oh and there was a whale as we started our Zodiac cruise. 

Lunch could be served earlier as I am hungry :)

As we proceeded to the glacier, Humpback Whales were spotted so we watched them. This delayed us enough so we had to start our transit to the Weddell Sea. 

In briefing presentations were given on penguins, icebergs, whales, and the formations we saw at Spert Island.

Before dinner there was a pool party near a beautiful iceberg. I learned the Captain had been tracking this iceberg and knew it was perfect for such an event. The LeLyrial crew and Naturalists are excellent.

Dinner and bed.
