We were on deck about 7 am. We could feel the Antarctic from the south. It was the coldest on deck on the whole trip. Between 8:00 and 9:00 am we sailed around Cape Horn Island. Too busy watching birds to take photos.
We then headed east to the Atlantic Ocean, then northeast toward the Falkland Islands.
