Grytviken and Drygalski Fijord

After getting blown out of a few landings we were treated to some amazing weather, blue skies and flat calm!

Hiking above Grytviken and Shackleton's grave


Watching out for the elephant seals wallowing beside the pathways completely unconcerned with the human visitors...


And in for a closer view, lichens and mosses growing on an aged whale vertebra




Then to Drygalski... staff who have been working these waters for 15-20 years have never seen this place so calm let alone put zodiacs in the water... incredible.





Triumphant after a stunning afternoon
