Day 9 Gold Harbor - Cooper Bay - Drygalski Fjord (11/7)


Today’s first stop was another great site for king penguins, fur and elephant seals. When we first arrived we were treated to a display of jousting from the elephant seal males that were congregated at our landing site. I also think the early morning time (5:30AM) may have had something to do with the heightened activity as well. It seems that all the big bulls do is sleep, fight, and have sex and not necessarily in that order.

We are headed to another small landing this afternoon where we hope to see some macaroni penguins.
