I just got back onboard my expedition ship after spending the night camping on the snow at Punta Vidt, in Antarctica’s Paradise Harbour.
This was an optional activity during the 16-day expedition cruise I’m currently on. Guests had the option of camping in either a two-person tent or an individual bivy.
This was a remarkably calm night with virtually no wind, clear skies, and glaciers and icebergs all around us. The only sounds you could hear were those made by the cracking and calving glaciers around us, along with the three Weddell seals and four gentoo penguins nearby. Not a bad place to spend the night!
