2025_26 Oosterdam, Antarctica Day 2, Part 1...

I was out about 6 am to set up for day two of Antarctic Adventure…stellar weather, blue skies and less wind a definite change from yesterday. I’ve been in the Antarctic with both ugly and beautiful weather…  I lean heavily to the beautiful weather.  When I was setting up my equipment, we were just beginning our approach to King George Island.  Our first scenic stop this morning was Admiralty Bay which is part of the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Peninsula. The island is home to a number of scientific research stations, including four along Admiralty Bay which we were able to see two of them as we cruised by, the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station and the British, Pieter J. Lenie Base.  The scenery inside Admiralty Bay is absolutely spectacular, the dramatic glaciers and abundance of wildlife…really words cannot describe the stillness and pristine beauty as far as the eye can see! Stay tuned for Part 2 with our stop at Deception Island later today.
