After a very smooth crossing through The Drake Passage, we arrived at Antarctica on Monday, March 2nd.

Our Favorite Daughter (OFD) did a Zodiac ride in the morning. Here are some of her photos.
The Zodiac guide fished a piece of saltwater ice out of the water to share info about ice composition.

Antarctica was the 7th Continent OFD has stepped foot on during her travels. For her, this trip was to celebrate completing her MA degree and the continents' milestone.

We were told how quickly weather can change and to be prepared for quick departures if out on the water. The cloud layers added interest to the photos.
