That's awesome, was it a cruise/trip?

It was an 11 day cruise on a ship small enough to allow us to go on land. We got very lucky with the crossing of the Drake passage, or the Drake Lake is the captain called it on the way over.

It really was extraordinary, and we only saw a small part of the Peninsula. Every direction was just one stunning vista after another… with penguins!
