January 10, 2023 – Day 7: Hidden Bay, Petermann Island, Pleneau Bay

In the morning, we were supposed to do a Zodiac tour in Hidden Bay, but it got canceled due to high wind. We then went through foggy and snowy Lemaire Channel to Petermann Island. We were able to do a landing at Petermann Island. It was similar to D’Hainaut Island, but bigger. Penguins were more spread out, so the snow was more white, unlike the brown, penguin guano snow in D’Hainaut Island.

Then in the evening there was a surprise Zodiac tour in Pleneau Bay through giant icebergs. It was most interesting.

And it wasn’t over yet. At around 10:30 pm, we went through Lemaire Channel again. The captain said the condition would be better this time, so we went out to the bow of the ship for better view. It was better with no snow or wind, but it was still foggy.
