CHAPTER IV.
Landfall!--The Locals

Date: 13 February
Location: Deception Island

Made landfall today.  On the way in, we were surrounded by a pod of feeding humpback whales.  They surfaced within 10 feet of boat and occasionally went just under the boat.  Quite spectacular.  Greeted by penguins jumping.  We will be anchoring tonight in the caldera of a volcano.  A penguin colony of 500,000 will be joining us.  We are anchored for 2 days, about 5 miles from an Argentina science station.
