Polar Star - Day 2
Our NC Zoo Society travelers had an easy Drake Passage yesterday.
Also from the ship's log (1/25/06):
" In addition to the [chin-strap] penguins, there have been all-day sightings of that famous habitual ship follower: the enormous Wandering Albatross. This bird has the greatest wingspan of any living bird at about 3.5 metres! There is not much flapping. Just lots of gliding and soaring. They cruise alongside the ship like 747's and sometimes close enough to the ship that it looks like passenger's can reach out and touch them."
Cool! (no pun...)
