We woke to a blustery day and although it was Christmas Day, it felt like any other day except we were entering the Weddell sea which was pretty special. Few people get to visit the Weddell sea so it was a bit exciting. Normally the sea is packed with ice but we found sufficient clear water to visit a few places.

We were soon passing massive cliffs dark and looming – this was Brown Bluff. The Expedition team tried to find a landing place but it was simply too windy. Next possible landing option was James Ross Island. Here a number of people went ashore to a place called ‘The Naze’. This as the name suggests, is a long stretch of seemingly bare ground, but those that went ashore said that there was plenty of wildlife there

That night the dining room was decked out for Christmas and we even had a visit from Santa. All rather fun and the mood was jolly.
