The guys in the blue coats are expedition staff. The number of crew on the bridge is a good indication that something good is coming, as we are about to enter "The Gullet."

The sights and sounds, (creaks, groans, and pops) are incredible as the Captain guides our ice breaking ship through the narrow channel, "the Gullet." in between Adelaide Island and the Antarctic Continent.

My roommate, Lynn, snaps a picture of my second-favorite spot on the boat, napping in the chair in the Observation Lounge. So much to see, yet the gentle rocking makes it impossible to stay awake!

Everything in Antarctica is on a monumental scale, so the two zodiac boats in the foreground offer perspective on the scale of the mountains.
