Antarctica trip

[John Eacott]

As we became more of a feature, stuck in the ice, we attracted more wandering penguins as they came for a look



Maybe the hot water being pumped around the ship to try to break out was unusual?



But the opportunity to get onto the ice and see the penguins was something else!













The ship's fuel was shifted to list her to try to break off the ice



and for a short time we thought we were free of the ice



While the penguins swam alongside us like a pod of dolphins



Until a couple of hours to sunset, and time for more rest
