We passed through the Lemaire Channel twice today. The first time was early in the morning when guests were just waking up, and then again during cocktail hour and recap, when we took a break to observe the beautiful scenery. Port Charcot is on the other side of the channel. We had a chance to visit Booth Island, which separates two iceberg-packed coves. Several colonies of gentoo penguins live on the island. Some guests opted for Zodiac cruises amongst the immense and prolific icebergs in the bay. We spent the afternoon a short distance away at Petermann Island, where we visited more colonies of gentoos mixed in with a few chinstrap and Adelie penguins as well.
