Home is where the (h)eart(h) is...

Damn it! ;heartbreak

Anyway, back from the Antarctic Peninsula. Some scenery in attachment.
We had a balmy 32-33 °F throughout the week we were there. Cold feel can be quite different depending on the cloud cover and/or wind.
Lucky in respect to how fast the cruiseship could sail towards the peninsula (Drake Lake while crossing the Drake Passage), but quite the heavy storm front a week later caused our captain to depart 1-2 days earlier. Perhaps as well, since a couple ships reported 10-12 m waves during their crossing the two days after we arrived to Ushuaia.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a fur seal. But I took a bit too close a picture of it. He seemed to become territorial at that moment.
Leopard -and sealions can size between 2-3 m.

* Random quote

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.
