Upon
leaving Waterboat Point, we went out for a ride in our Zodiac rafts, and
took some pictures of seals hanging out on local ice floes.
This was a relatively small
landing area, where it was decided to try and get everyone from the Planetary
Society together for a group picture. It was a tricky business though,
trying to get everyone to clamber up the guano-slick rocks into one location.

We also managed to find some humpback whales, who seemed as curious
about us, as we were about them!

Then
on the way back to the ship, we had a great time taking pictures of each
other between rafts as we went flying over the waves.
This
picture may *look* like it was easy, but imagine me being as bundled up
as these folks are, maneuvering my camera for the shot while wearing a
heavy glove, *and* trying to time the shot so that I was at the top of
a "bounce" and could actually see everyone's faces, not just the bottom
of the raft <grin>.
