We arrived at Prospect Point in the morning under partly cloudy skies. We had a landing on the continent in the morning, with no wildlife nearby. This was just about scenery. There were some nearby mountains that were tantalizingly partially revealed through the clouds and I was hoping all morning that the sky would clear enough to shoot them.

By the time we left, the clouds had cleared enough to shoot this panorama, stitched from several shots.
In the afternoon, we had a zodiac cruise in the same spot among the Fish Islands. There were filthy Adélie penguins and Antarctica cormorants nesting everywhere. The mountain that I’d been hoping to see finally cleared enough to make some stunning shots.

There was a single Weddell Seal among the thousands of birds, trying to nap.
