We landed at Elephant Island, a place Sir Ernest Shackelton’s men landed and stayed the winter while a few men sailed to Georgia and returned to save the rest of the crew. We saw Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Macaroni penguins, fur and elephant seals, and petrals. We also saw a Right whale, a relatively rare species. Yesterday, we could not download a picture – we’ll try again today. The landscapes are beyond description ; everything is surreal.
Yuuck! No pictures again.
