Antarctica – Day three

Today, things didn't go according to plan. For starters, the day was very foggy so we couldn't travel very fast. To make matters worse, we ran into tons of sea ice. As you can imagine, fog and ice do not make a good combination. So unless we wanted to end up like the Titanic, we had to change our plans. Since the ship is not equipped as an icebreaker, we had to turn around and look for open ocean.
When the fog finally cleared, we got to look at some really big icebergs. Below you can see a huge tabular iceberg that is half a mile long.

Here is a closeup of that iceberg.
