Almirantazgo Sound – Ainsworth Bay – Brookes glacier - Gabriel
Channel
We had a good breaky
and awaited our first expedition onshore. A walk along the crest of
a glacial moraine. A nice walk with a German guide. Overcast and a
little drizzle but for where we are good weather.Lots of edible berries around, only one that is not too good to eat, It works as a laxative!!
We had a pre-lunch
drink while we sailed to Brook’s Glacier. Lots of ice in the
water. 
After lunch we went ashore in the zodiacs and walked along the beach to a closer viewing spot. This glacier is very active and noisy. Saw lots of chunks of ice tumble into the fjord. Although the water is connected to the pacific ocean it is quiet fresh from the ice melt.
We were offered hot chocolate and whiskey on the beach but we did not partake.
By the time we returned to the ship the floating ice caused us to travel an extra few hundred meters from our path to miss most of the floating ice. Just starting to drizzle. A lovely hot shower and dressed for dinner.
A presentation of our trip, Pia glacier tomorrow and some history and detailed information on Glaciers in general.
Another 4 course meal….
An early night for me.
