Neko Harbour


Today, I visited the most beautiful place on earth. Cheesy yes. But I think it's true. We had the best weather yet, got to see penguins and seals, and spend time boating in a natural harbor surrounded by mountains and glaciers. It's a shame I can only post one picture right now...but
it's probably my best one.

Needless to say, I'm sad to leave. We've been cruising along the Gerlache Strait and in a few hours we'll be in the Drake Passage, heading back to Chile. You can still see icebergs in the water and a few mountainous islands here and there. But soon that will fade to open ocean and more waves. Hopefully this crossing will be good to me.

I've been packing up my lab and finishing up my sampling today also. It feels good to be nearly done. But it'll be a lot of work when I get back to UGA, also.

Alright, time to head back outside and enjoy the sights while there are still some around. Will update if anything exciting happens before we reach Punta Arenas.
