Wow what a day this has been. Into Schollart Channel at 7am to see our first Antarctic Icebergs. Then all the way through Schollart Channel, Gerlache Strait and into Paradise Bay how the Captain and his team managed to steer a sip of this size around all these Icebergs and growlers I will never know. Mickylive promised us great sights and great weather and again he delivered. We saw Humpback whales and Gentoo penguins all the way from start to finish. Got into Paradise Bay and it is truly stunning. Looking back up Gerlache Strait how the Captain and his ice Pilot got us here we will never know.calms seas, bright blue skies and warm sunshine meant a fantastic day. To quote Mickylive only 1% of the worlds population have ever visited Antarctica and of that 1% only 20% have seen it in warm bright blue skies. So glad to be in that 20%. We got to paradise Bay around 11am and stayed until 5pm. Then set sail back through Gerlache Strait off towards South Shetland Isles and Elephant Island our destination for tomorrow. Enjoyed a beautiful Antarctic sunset over dinner. So thanks to Captain Leo, the Ice Pilot and the crew of Celebrity Eclipse and our host Mickylive for a perfect day in Antarctica
