What a spectacular day on the Antarctic Peninsula! Starting with a thrilling sighting of killer whales, our bridge team expertly navigated National Geographic Endurance to give us an unobstructed view of these magnificent apex predators. After an exciting start and a hearty breakfast, we set off for a two-hour Zodiac cruise in Cierva Cove, where the calm, glass-like waters perfectly reflected the stunning landscape. We spotted a leopard seal and, of course, many penguins, all while admiring the unique, sculptural icebergs that dotted the cove. Following lunch, we ventured out again, this time in kayaks. We paddled peacefully through the same serene waters, fully immersed in the beauty and silence of the environment.
