Today is the Sea Day of travel to Antarctica! First sight will be Elephant Island at around 7am ... early day, ick! Had a Masters Seminar today in the Art Emporium. Was hoping to see some whales today, but didn't get to spend too much time by windows. Nothing to report, still thinking about the adorable penguin yesterday.
Note: only 1/8 the total volume of an iceberg is above the surface of the sea (as can be learned in Titanic)
