After several days at sea, getting acquainted with icebergs and the brisk Antarctic air, we left the safety of our expedition vessel for our second zodiac excursion of the trip. En route to Winter Island, we slowly navigated through brash sea ice. After advancing, prodding, backtracking and pushing ice around, we eventually made our way to our destination.

The scenery, was awe-inspiring. Snow covered mountains clouded in mystery. Sea ice in every direction. I found myself in a state of wonder having never seen anything like this before. Throughout the journey, I kept thinking how different the ice and landscape is down here compared to what I saw in Arctic Greenland. Amazing!

Brash sea ice blankets the waters around the Argentine Islands.
