I have returned to California with sketches of nesting albatrosses and penguins, small watercolors of glaciers and ocean cliffs, 6,300 photos of icebergs and every possible creature, a couple hours of delightful video, many new friends, and [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t even put into words how incredible everything was &#8212; the vast gravel plain below gorgeous glaciers with king penguins and fur seals literally everywhere, the rain that soaked almost everything, the wind that kicked up and really challenged our afternoon Zodiac landing on little Prion Island, and the giant [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ll make our first landing this morning at famous Salisbury Plain on the island&#8217;s northeast coast. If you&#8217;ve seen photos of tens of thousands of King Penguins stretching up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first iceberg of our Antarctic voyage is in sight! It was spotted at 10:24 a.m. on our third day sailing from the Falkland Islands to South Georgia. It&#8217;s a beauty, too; towering, with gorgeous blue depths where waves crash over its submerged ledges. This is a chunk of the massive glaciers that pour off [...]]]></description>
