Celebrity Eclipse Antarctica Cruise day 7: Schollaert Channel, Paradise Bay

Subscribe to the channel On the seventh day of travel we finally reached Antarctica. And we even saw some penguins. The Schollaert Channel separates the large Antarctic islands of Brabant and Anvers, which are part of the Palmer Archipelago. The day before, the cruise director announced the crossing of the 60th parallel. And icebergs are like clouds. I mean, they vary greatly in shape and spark the imagination. There are ones that look like an iron, a boat, a piano, a hedgehog, a hat, binoculars... On the way back I already recognized some. To avoid colliding with them, the liner took on board a specially trained pilot called the Ice Pilot. Paradise Harbor is a wide bay on the Antarctic Peninsula beyond Lemaire and Bride Islands. The only stopover of large cruise ships in close proximity to continental Antarctica. Whalers called this place Paradise Harbor a century ago, and they can be understood. There are a lot of whales in these places; at times you can see three to five at a time. I took several photographs of whale backs and penguins swimming in a school, but they have no artistic value. Once something large and light gray appeared from the water. Either a whale or another large mammal.
