An overview of the entire trip is available here.
We went ashore among nesting Gentoo Penguins on Cuverville Island in the morning. This was the best landing by far, with great weather and active penguins all around.

The ship in calm water, among icebergs, with the mountains in the background made for a marketing-material-worthy shot.

A pair of Chinstrap Penguins came ashore and hung around with the thousands of Gentoo Penguins.

Midday, we entered nearby Neko Harbor under stunning mostly clear skies. We had an afternoon zodiac cruise among the icebergs. This was easily the most beautiful part of the trip, in a protected bay, with light winds, blue skies, calm water, icebergs everywhere, mountains, glaciers, porpoising penguins, and our only leopard seal sighting.
