After awakening to a slice of blue sky and icebergs large enough to alter our course, our expedition headed to the historic Detaille Island. On shore, guests explored an abandoned hut filled with scientific remnants and other trinkets of everyday life in Antarctica. In the afternoon, we cruised through the calm, ice-filled water before stopping for a most necessary polar plunge. It’s difficult to understand just how far south we’ve gone and how remote the land is. There’s just a feeling inside that tells you that you’ve been to a special place.
