5 Feb 2001. Crossing the Drake Passage from Argentina to the Antarctic peninsula can be a bit rough.

7 Feb 2001. We encounter ice but it is not a problem for our Russian Ice breaker, the Kapitan Dranitsyn. We even stopped along the way to take a little stroll.

Our first landing - Brown Bluff, Antarctica. See all the small dots? Penguins! My fellow travellers are the larger dots along the left shore line in the top picture. The bottom photo is a close up taken near the center of the top photo.
