Chimping





The Orkney Islands are full of penguins and seals. We also learned a new word – chimping. That’s when traveling photographers look at the pictures they have just taken, saying, “Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.” Today's pics are DeDe's from yesterday.

All the islands have similar topography – sharp, peaked rocks, with glacial valleys, rocky coasts, and floating or grounded icebergs offshore.

Today we’re headed to South Georgia, and literally, millions of animals. In the meantime, however, Pop Pop has spent much of the morning laying in bed, with the seas rocking, pitching, and rolling the ship. “Ooh, ooh,” with a different tone.
