Hi Amanda, I recommend you take a closer look at the journal where you will see
lots of ice on the water. It is not as cold as it gets in winter, but still
pretty cold.
I have seen the following flying birds: Skuas, Petreles and Albatross. I
have seen the following seals: Wedell, Leopard and Crabeater. We saw from a
far distance Minke whales and Orcas, and form a very close distance
Humpback whales. We have seen tons of Adélie penguins and a few Emperor
penguins. You can see pictures of all of them on the journal.
Thanks for writing,
Juan.
