Drake Passage back to Cape Horn

Drake Passage back to Ushuaia

Today was a rather long journey from Pleneau Island to the US base, Palmer Station, on Anvers Island. In the afternoon, we landed on Amsler island for a walk and to primarily experience Southern Elephant Seals firsthand. Though incredibly smelly (worse than the penguin colonies) they were impressive animals to behold.
