We sailed into Antarctic Sound and saw many icebergs, some very large. We then turned around to sail to Deception Island. When we got there the seas were too rough to get close to the island , but you could see some of the penguins. Then it started to snow and we left for Drake Passage.

Probably the most impressive place we've ever visited. Noting compares to the mountains, glaciers and bergs here. It's just spectacular. Our only regret was that we were not landing.
