December 29th we were up early to begin the traverse of the Lemaire Channel - a geologic fault 8.6 miles long and 1,700 yards wide. This narrow waterway is not always passable due to ice.
One of our first obstacles blocking the channel.
Breakfast was frequently interrupted by running out to the deck to snap another photo and then dashing in to the dry, warmth of the 270 Galley.
