Oh, how I long to be back sitting at the bar on the Corinthian II in Antarctica!!!

Every evening for almost 3 weeks (except for one evening when I decided to try something different), one, two, or three of these were my relaxing "down time" before the next day's briefing. The briefing was then followed by dinner with wine. I slept very well.I'm normally not that much of a drinker. However, a successful day of adventure filled with good photography - followed afterwards by pleasant company and tales of the day's adventures - gives things a new spin.

Yes, that was really Antarctic Glacier Ice (fresh from the glacier) in the glass. It's hard to beat ice that comes straight from a glacier for an exotic cocktail: http://www.athropolis.com/arctic-facts/fact-ice-glacial.htm
