Captain Mattias gave us an early Christmas present today. He parked the Oden next to an ice floe, lowered the gangplank, and off we went! We spent a couple of hours playing around, taking pictures of each other, and setting the world record of pictures taken at one time of one Adele penguin! This little fellow wandered over to where we were and cameras were clicking away!!

I guess we all had cabin fever, because once we got on the ice everyone started playing and acting up.

Happy Tish! Yes!! Off the boat !! Exclaims Tish*
