Prior to this run to South Georgia, a large piece of the ice shelf had sheared away from Antarctica and was estimated to be the size of Wales. We passed a section that had broken away from it. It was easily seen on the radar and was around eleven and a half miles long.

    
Looming out of the morning gloom, the ice looked more like a land mass. It appeared really huge, but was only a small section of the original. There were smaller icebergs, like the one on the right. At one point there were over two hundred images on the radar.

    
We have land in sight and one of the familiar landmarks was the Fortuna Glacier. There is an alteration in course with the Fortuna Glacier disappearing behind us.

The voyage down is almost over as we see the South Georgia coastline in all it's beauty as we bear down on the Cumberland Bays.

In the distance there is a pod of Killer Whales the dominant male is easily spotted having an extremely large dorsal fin. There were around eighteen animals in all.
