This morning we arrived at Mikkelsen Harbor and took Zodiacs to shore. This was our first major penguin sighting with hundreds of Gentoos in the rookeries. We also saw a few seals and a Chilean emergency hut. The whale bones on the beach gave evidence of the area’s history. This afternoon we are headed to South Georgia. South Georgia was to have been our first stop on this trip, but the weather  changed those plans. In this part of the world, the weather trumps everything else. The ship’s crew has to ready to adjust at short notice. The sea is eerily calm as we cruise along, but that won’t last.
