January 4, 2024 - morning excursion
Fournier Bay, Antartica - whales, icebergs & more
Another morning of spectacular scenery in Fournier Bay - the zodiac excursion started in the nearby ice fields with some beautiful floating icebergs. We found several Wendell seals lounging on the surfaces, but the best was yet to come as we ventured closer to the entrance of the bay in search of humpback whales. We found a pod of at least 5 and perhaps 6 humpback whales feeding on krill. We actually were close enough to the pod that we could clearly see the "bubble" rings they created to capture the krill - unbelievable sight and sound from these beautiful creatures - enjoy the attached video.
