A Weddell Seal taking a little nap! He was directly in our path so the expedition guides created a new path for us 🦭
Chillin’ and breathing in some really fresh air!

Pictures will never do this justice. Today was the first expedition via the Zodiac to Portal Point and Charlotte’s Bay. It was our first continent landing.

History: Portal Point is on the Reclus Peninsula. It’s a long stretch directly from the Polar Plateau. There once was a refuge hut built by the British and in operation from 1956-1997. They could use a nearby snow slope as a gateway up onto the Peninsula plateau. The hut is no longer around.

Be sure to also check out our other pictures on the “Antarctica Photos” page.

Dream come true!
