The evening before we moved on from Recess Cove towards Dallmann Bay, the red square on the map, which lies between Anvers and Brabant Islands. The bay was named after a German whaler captain who explored and chartered the area in the mid 1870s.

We arrived in the bay in the early morning. The weather was again tremendous, sunny blue skies and calm seas.

A number of odd shaped icebergs were floating around in the bay. The mountains behind made a great backdrop. From time to time there were deep rumbles coming from the ice and snow up the sides of the mountains.

We did not land here but undertook some cruising later in the morning around the bay in a zodiac. Encountered some fur seals on an iceberg and also a Kelp Gull with a chick on the nest. Photographing the wildlife from a zodiac is a bit challenging at times with all the rocking and rolling. But if you click a lot you can get some reasonable images. Can always doctor them up later.

Lunch aboard the ship was an open deck BBQ. Quite a spread of meats and seafood.

Despite the sun it was a little chilly up on deck 6, but we had some great views of the bay and the surrounding landscape.
