South Georgia: Drygalski Fjord and Ocean Harbour, Cooper Bay

-
Our trip from Elephant island was surprisingly smooth. We could eat our meals without spilling drinks, losing cutlery and tripping over. It was a little wavy but nowhere near what I expected.

We arrived at South Georgia earlier than expected and grab the opportunity to visit Drygalski fjord and paddle in Cooper bay. The fjord unfortunately had a full on blizzard and or objective to get there was perhaps a waste of fuel and time, but who can tell what the outcome is with the weather in this region ? At least we got to see a glacier.

Our paddle more than made up for earlier disappointment. I’m not going to say much today and simply present pictures with some witty remarks of what represents South Georgia: an oasis of animal life.

Enjoying life, or is it a flight of fear ?
