Stepping onto the Antarctic continent today at “Brown Bluff”. Such an achievement!
Especially for Daughter who ticked off her continent #7 at just 17 years old…

Brown Bluff is a basalt tuya located on the Tabarin Peninsula of northern Antarctica. It formed in the past 1 million years, which erupted subglacially within an englacial lake. [Wikipedia]

Then onto the “Lemaire Channel”, which is a strait off Antarctica, between Kiev Peninsula in the mainland’s Graham Land and Booth Island. [Wikipedia].

A most dramatic part of the world, where not only does the ship battle ice but also the width of the channel itself. At only 3 cables wide in parts, there’s not a lot of room for error. A stunning part of the world nonetheless.

“Mikkelsen Bay” was next… located on the west coast of Graham Land of Antartica. Also a place holding numerous whale bones of all shapes and sizes.

A few hours further south got us to Portal Point, which  is a narrow point in the northeast part of Reclus Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land. [Wikipedia]

This is also another fabulous spot the kayakers (Daughter included) got to paddle in… blessed indeed!
