Chilean Fjords – Just as we finished our early breakfast in the café, the captain announced that we were approaching a glacier.

We rushed to our suite for cameras and spent the next hour or so on various decks and our  balcony, enjoying its splendour, while the ship did a 540 degree turn. Perfect views of an amazing place.

Almost as soon as we left the fjord, we were wrapped in thick fog once again. At the end of this morning’s very illustrative talk, involving ice cubes, hot chocolate mix, soil and stones, along with a couple of very large trays and various kitchen utensils, we were told that we’d essentially received enough info for an undergrad degree in glaciology. Bingo was a free fun game, played for Regent baseball caps. I didn’t get one. Meanwhile we continued to cruise through the beautiful fjords.

By early afternoon we were back in open water and we enjoyed another Antarctic movie in the theatre (Antarctica – Tales from the End of the World.) Both Mensa and Trivia netted Regent Rewards, so that felt good. We shared a dinner table at Chartreuse with an interesting group of people, then enjoyed a most impressive musician playing many kinds of flutes and pipes with the Voyager orchestra.
