Nothing quite beats waking up on National Geographic Endurance parked in the sea ice to take in the morning glow of long winter days. We woke up early to take a hike across the sea ice, admiring seals, penguins, and the icy, unearthly landscape.
After a peaceful morning, we explored The Gullet by Zodiac. The Gullet is a narrow channel lined by mountains, glaciers, and icebergs. Around each ice floe seemed to be seal after seal basking in the sunlight, as well as Giant petrels, kelp gulls, and penguins swimming around us. It was a wonderfully sunny day full of wildlife and beautiful views.
