This morning we will cross the Antarctic Circle which is at -66.33S. The weather is quite a bit cloudier but the seas are calm and the sailing is smooth. As of 3 days ago, the Ice Captain is on duty as well, very large icebergs are visible on radar so they are not dangerous for the navigation, but sometimes they will block a passage and the ship has to be rerouted or turned around. Fortunately for us, yesterday the Lamaire Strait was free.
After leaving Neko Harbour yesterday evening, we passed by the Lamaire Strait, at 11pm, the sun was just skimming the horizon and the scenery was stunning. We were on the Helipad on the ship on Deck 7 and were able to take some amazing photos. It quickly turned very cold on Deck, but most the the ship's passenger were on deck for the photo opportunities.
Stamattina attraverseremo il Circolo Polare che si trova a -66.33S. Il cielo e' coperto ma il mare e' calmo e la navigazione procede bene. Da quando siamo in acque antartiche, abbiamo un capitano del ghiaccio. Gli iceberg sono visibili con la strumentazione di bordo anche a distanza, ma spesso capita che un iceberg blocchi il passaggio di uno stretto e che la nave debba essere dirottata altrove. Non e' stato cosi' ieri, il passaggio per lo stretto di Lamaire era libero.
Dopo aver lasciato Neko Harbour ieri sera, alle 23 abbiamo superato lo stretto Lamaire, il sole era ancora all'orizzonte ed panorama era bellissimo. Nonostante il freddo siamo andati a prua della nave dove il capitano aveva aperto il terrazzo per permetterci di fare foto molto belle.
