Title: Home is where the (h)eart(h) is...

Damn it! ;heartbreak

Anyway, back from the Antarctic Peninsula. Some scenery in attachment.
We had a balmy 32-33 °F throughout the week we were there. Cold feel can be quite different depending on the cloud cover and/or wind.
Lucky in respect to how fast the cruiseship could sail towards the peninsula (Drake Lake while crossing the Drake Passage), but quite the heavy storm front a week later caused our captain to depart 1-2 days earlier. Perhaps as well, since a couple ships reported 10-12 m waves during their crossing the two days after we arrived to Ushuaia.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a fur seal. But I took a bit too close a picture of it. He seemed to become territorial at that moment.
Leopard -and sealions can size between 2-3 m.
