Landing on Continent #6
P Endres snapped this photograph as we came ashore out of the Zodiac at Neko Harbour and indicated with Peggie's five fingers and Dan's one finger how many continents we have landed on.
For both Peggie and Dan, this was landing on our 6th Continent. We only have Asia to go!

Glacier calving at Neko Harbour
We were warned when we landed to stay above the broken sea ice line on the beach. This was an area of an active Glacier calving, which if it calved large amounts could create a significant wave into the beaches well above the tidal range.
We only observed one Glacier calving while we were on land and it did not reach our beach.
