Seabourn Quest Cruise to Antarctica: Adelie Penguin on King George Island

Seabourn Quest Cruise to Antarctica: Adelie Penguin on King George Island

This morning we were blown out of Half Moon Bay where we had hoped to go ashore. Unfortunately a change of plans is just par for the course in Antarctica. We left Half Moon Bay and made our way to a calmer destination in Admiralty Bay and the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station on King George Island. Here we all finally got a chance for our first excursion ashore.
