We left Ushuaia 3 days ago, and the waves and wind of the Drake Passage are behind us. We are in the South Shetland Islands, just west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Now we set out to explore Antarctica and its wildlife. This is Half Moon Island in the entrance of Livingston Island's Half Moon Bay.

Bellingshausen Research Station is located in a sheltered bay on King Edward Island in the South Shetland Islands. We are just west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Notice the station's multicolored buildings, which are evident even in Google Earth.
