: We were able to land on the second penguin island for a bit. While I was sitting near the penguin colony, a penguin came over and bit my foot. I did not make it to the end of the trail, so I missed out on getting a good photo of a Chinstrap Penguin that I guess was there.
We followed that up driving around the zodiac to get close to some seals.
Afterwards, we drove through a bunch of icebergs en route to the Antarctic Peninsula.
