Today we attend the mandatory cleaning and decontamination to prepare our outerwear for Antarctica. We are excited that we will arrive in Antarctica soon!
There are two English lectures ''Life of the Whale'' and ''Albatross, We Have a Problem.'' Both lectures are interesting, but the highlight of the day is spotting our first iceberg. It is fairly large and blue in color.
In the afternoon, we attend a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship. It is loud and a bit more rocky-feeling on deck one. Deck one is exclusively for the crew. We see the engine, the stabilizers, and the water storage and filtration system. It's amazing how much goes on behind the scenes.
Later, we go to bed a bit after dinner as our group is the first zodiac disembarkation once we arrived in the Weddell Sea. The Weddell Sea is named after James Weddell who discovered the great ice-filled sea in 1823.
Adventure Life has a great team. They were very knowledgeable and responsive and helped us choose the right Arctic Expedition for us. We would recommend them.

This was a life changing trip of a lifetime and exceeded my expectations. No details were left out during the planning of this trip by Adventure Life. The entire crew on the ship could not have been more helpful and kind. Everyone went out of their way to make this trip as pleasurable as possible.
