Drake Passage

December 28 – At Sea crossing the Drake Passage

Weather conditions were good in the Drake Passage and we boomed across at full speed.  The skies cleared and we passed by our first tabular iceberg and then a second one over one mile long, still small by Antarctic standards. We could see whale spouts, but they were too far away to identify the species. By 2000 we had officially crossed into Antarctic Waters.

The berg in the background is more than 1 mile long
