It was a wet morning as we pulled into Port Lockroy. Being established as Base A by the British in 1944 as a wartime initiative to monitor German shipping movements, we got a glimpse of the past in the museum at this historic base. As we pulled away from our last Antarctic landing, we bid adieu to our gentoo penguin friends that have become so familiar to us over the past few weeks. The Southern Ocean had one last hoorah for us and we were treated with Gerlache orcas chasing a penguin in the Gerlache Strait early this afternoon. We’re ready to take on the Drake Passage!
