In the late morning we arrived in the waters around Port Lockroy (at 64° 49′ S, 63° 30′ W), a former British Antarctic Research Station, now serving as Antarctic Heritage site with a small museum, gift shop and (most important) an option to actually post postcards.
The passengers were split into two groups; the first one heading out for the station itself and the second one to check out the nearby penguin colony at Jougla Point. I was in the group first heading for the penguin colony.
