Good times!
Which is significantly preferred to just going with the floe.

I love the way this iceberg pic turned out. That’s “hang on the wall” worthy.

Reminds me when I sat in front of the Sphinx in Cairo for 2 hours....I didn't want to leave.

It’s been fantastic! And I’ve met some great folks on the ship from all over the world. Exceeded my expectations for sure so far.

You’re right - it’s nice to capture the photo, but the real joy is just taking it in and experiencing the moment.
Speaking of moments, we just saw a huge pod of orcas swimming around. They were all around the boat. It was just incredible.

I don't know if you've kept up on recent events regarding orcas but you sure you guys weren't lunch?

How cold is it? Can you locate your penis when you pee?

My favorite animal, one with no predators, intelligent, majestic.
I hope you get to see a leopard seal. They are no joke, except to the orcas, who laugh in their general direction.
kutta
Footballguy
There are. Yes there are.
But, it’s a small ship so I think if any shenanigans went down it would be very awkward. But it’s a long trip, so we’ll see…

It’s not bad at all. About 30 F. When we are in the water in a zodiac with the wind it gets pretty chilly, but I expected worse.

What recent event was this? Are you talking about the pod -- off Spain and/or Portugal I think -- that has been ****ing with sail boats? Because there are no recorded kills of humans in the wild.I don't know if you've kept up on recent events regarding orcas but you sure you guys weren't lunch?
They think it's the same pod and they go after rudders on smaller sailboats. Like dismantling them. Some surmise that this learned behavior is due to one of them being injured or killed by a boat strike and so the orcas see those type of vessels as a danger or threat of sorts and that this is some sort of retaliation. Others think they are "playing" or teaching young. That said, there's been no injuries to my knowledge but I do believe some boats were lost and people have had to be saved.
Let's face it though, if it was the people they were after on those boats, they would be long gone.
The whole thing is very interesting, as there's been multiple instances now, but only in this region, so there does seem to be a pattern here and you wonder how or if it ends.

Yes those instances exactly and more tongue in cheek than anything else. Agree that if those orca's wanted to dine on humans, they would have dined on humans.What recent event was this?

An old friend of my wife's used to he obsessed eith Polar bears- went on a series of Polar bear vacations to exotic and cold locations. Ended up meeting a russian mon and her 20 something daughter. Long distance "romance" that we assumed would end with bank account or cc or human organs shared with the dark web. That was 10 years ago...they got married and have a 6 year old in DC.
Which isnt necessarily mutually exclusive to dark web organ heists.
So...hold on to your kidneys, kutta!

I love this thread. Would love to see some pics of the ship and your accommodations.
Not sure if you're a weed guy but I can't imagine many things more awesome than sitting on your balcony, enjoying the scenery with some great tunes and a marijuana cigarette, and/or a cigar and brown liquor.

I’m not a weed guy, and smoking is strictly prohibited on the ship. But I’ve enjoyed plenty of brown liquor…
I’ll get some pics of the ship up soon.

This is 162 people, not sure what groups there are. But they said they had a group of skiers 10 days ago on the ship

Across the Drake channel day 1 was pretty rough. Lots of sickness. They had barf bags tied to all the railings. I took bonine and was fine.
I’m pretty sure it’s Starlink - great internet!

It’s quiet. Really quiet. And clean. The water and the air and the land. It’s all pristine - it feels like nothing has changed for millions of years.

This is cool. The zodiac guides bring back glacier ice and they use it at the bar. My Makers Mark with glacier ice.

Not millions. The aliens came and set up their underground base there pretty recently. Also, watch out for Illuminati clones hitching a ride back to the mainland. Global warming may have melted enough ice to reveal the pyramids that were built by the nazis. That's where they operate out of.

This is so cool. Two questions....
How long are the days?
Is there obvious signs of climate change or no?

It’s 11:30 pm right now and pretty dark. It gets light around 4:30 am. So it’s not horrible right now. And the ship has blackout curtains so that’s good.
I don’t see signs of climate change, but I’m dumb. Some of the seminars have talked about penguins moving locations because the ice doesn’t come as early as it used to.
