Killer Whales
This morning, we crossed over the Antarctic Circle and are continuing to head south. We just passed through Gullet Bay, a narrow inlet filled with sea ice. We are the first ship of the season to make it through. Temperatures hover around freezing and snow storms pop up in a moment's notice. Seals sleeping on ice floes and birds circling overhead are a common occurrence. We're hoping to see more whales today.

This all sounds incredible. Can't wait to see your pictures and hear all about the trip. The kids went back to school today. They're sad that vacation is over. Saw Mom on New Year's Day--she's doing much better and looks great. Miss you--Libby
