The sun rose at 3:23 AM this morning. Time zones seem to be almost useless the closer you get to the poles. It doesn't seem to really get dark at all here at night. It gets gray - most people would characterize it as dusk. Dusk runs from about 10 PM to 3 AM.
Around 5:45 AM, I spotted land. The first picture is seen here. Just a sliver of a pancake of white in the distance. We are making our way to Deception Island - to go swimming! Got to do it, just to say I swam in Antarctic waters.
More to come.
