Part 4

I started off today with a quick excursion to an unmanned Argentine research station.



After a bit taking in the sights in the surrounding areas, we hopped in the Zodiacs where we found a bunch of Antarctic Shags feeding.



Sadly at this point I had come down with a fever and elected to remain on the ship for the rest of the day, missing out on our second excursion and the infamous Polar Plunge. I rested up all day and all night, feeling good enough the next morning to cruise out into Paradise Bay. This was probably my favorite part of the trip - the water was absolutely still, the only noise being the occasional cracking of an avalanche that you could turn and watch.
