We spent the day at the very tip of the Antarctic Peninsula: Brown Bluff and Devil Island (a small island just off the larger, but still small, Vega Island). I'll start with lots of fantastic ice photos.

| The snow was coming down as we cruised in Zodiacs around the ice off Brown Bluff. |
 |
| Waves and wind carve the ice into fantastical shapes. |
 |
| I thought this iceberg looked like an animal head -- a dog? a bear? a dinosaur? |
 |
| Later, in the Antarctic Sound, we saw a large tabular iceberg that broke off an ice shelf. Even though it's huge, it's not big enough to get a number or be tracked. |
 |
| Summer is ending and sea ice is beginning to form as it gets colder and snow accumulates. |
