Day 5 Antarctic Expedition on the M/V Island Sky PART 1
Day 5 was so huge with so many things happening I have had to break it down into 2 parts. It was day number 2 on the Antarctic Peninsula and it was once again a very, very early morning for myself. My alarm went off at 530am and I was up and standing on the outer observation deck in eager anticipation of what the weather and potential animal sightings were going to be like for this mornings excursion.
We were once again at Cuverville, which is where we were the previous expedition BUT this time will be my last time at this place until next season, which will be at the end of the year. My goal was simple - find humpbacks and leopard seals and get some amazing photos to share with you all on Steemit.
Cuverville did not disappoint!! We had amazing encounters of Humpback whales, leopard seals and I even got a brief interaction with 2 male orca!!! SUCCESS!!!
Stay tuned for what happened next as we cruised to our second location & what happened once we arrived at our final destination on the Antarctic peninsula for this season…

Antartida the end of the world such a cool place to visit! i did myself :); Be sure to visit my country Argentina; Cordillera de los Andes; better landscapes than norway/newzealand in fact scenes from Lord of the Rings were filmed in Argentina.
Wow that amazing... i have a question. Is there an evidence of gigantic hole connecting to the underworld as flat eather claims. Sounds ridiculous but i'm interested.
not that I saw
You are very enthusiastic man to get your target pictures. I Love your attempt and your work. I cannot imagine how cold is there?

Exploring nature is the best way to interact with it.
I congratulate you for such a good job
what a wonderfull experience and therefore, will post in "my best of the week"! thanks!
How many degrees were you there? I feel cold with only see the photographs 😅
Thisis a great experience, you are a lucky one. Thanks for share.
It was warmer than it can be, as we were there in summer - its typically between 0-5 degrees depending on the weather of the day
Wow! And is possible work there when does 0 to 5 degrees?
You r eyes are blessed such a beatiful view! Even if I don t love the winter so much, seeing these photos make me wonder how great the nature is!
Gosh everytime I look at your photos I dream of getting a gig like yours. How did you up in the world of crusing zodiacs around? Did you dream of getting to Antarctica some day or was this unexpected turn in life?
No, I honestly never dreamt of doing something like this. It kind of was an opportunity that presented itself and I took full advantage of it. I say go for it!
