Visits
- 2021-12-02: Again, we were prevented from landing. This boat was taking no chances, and they used any puff of wind as an excuse to not land on shore. Not enjoying the least common denominator factor. After lunch, we took a drive into the Drygalski Fjord under blue skies and warmish weather. Everyone was very excited to see the blue water and chunks of floating ice.
