Today we visited Paradise Bay looking at one of the Research Stations (Argentinian one), from there to Cuverville (Penguins) and Deception Island (Volcano crater) via Croker channel and Bransfield Strait.
More blogging tomorrow. Today was an 18 hour day with standby from 05.00 a until almost midnight. I was a bit busy with dodging icebergs.
Note: you might find February 15, missing. It was uploaded but HAL upgraded their Blog servers today, so I think it fell of the “hard drive” during the process. I will upload again tomorrow.

I have enjoyed following your progress down the length of South America in the blog and I am looking forward to reading your posts as you travel North again. Looks like Argentina has just implement a requirement for ships travelling between the mainland and the Falklands to have a permit. Do you expect this to impact your call at Port Stanley 19 FEB?

Dear Captain Albert –
Please tell your bosses that I did not even want to cruise South America or the Antarctic until I started reading your blogs of the past few weeks. The information and photos you provide are delicious!
We are on the Westerdam in August for “Celtic Legends,” but we look forward to the Prinsendam again in 2011.
