Antarctic Peninsula - Feb 29 - Mar 2

We had the easiest, calmest, smoothest crossing of Drake's Passage imaginable! Wave swells were never more than 6 feet and the wind was under 20 knots. We called it Drakes Lake and realized just how lucky we were!

On February 29 around 1pm we arrived in Dallmann Bay off Anvers Island, just a few miles off the Antarctic Peninsula. This map shows the track taken by Seven Seas Voyager for the next three days as we explored multiple bays, channels, straits and islands viewing icebergs, glaciers and wildlife, ending our visit at Elephant Island, where Shackleton's Endurance crew spent so many months waiting for rescue.

In the next few posts I will share accounts and photos from each of these magical days in Antarctica, where the great weather continued to hold for us and we saw so many icebergs, penguins, whales and seals.
