		<description><![CDATA[Even with an hour of sleep lost, most of us were up early to enjoy our entrance to Perseverance Harbour,and what a spectacular entrance it was!  On approach we passed Jacquemart Island and rock stacks so delicate it seemed the ship’s wake would sweep them away. As we turned the corner, cloud wisped the peaks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much to our delight, a calmer morning greeted us today, with most of us making it down to breakfast!  Even before that, the early birds on the bridge had already seen two humpback whales carrying on reasonably close to the ship. Expedition Leader, Howard, kicked off our morning talk, regaling us with the evolution of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another beautifully calm day greeted us today as the ship made its way through pack ice toward several distant icebergs.  We aimed for the vast tabular iceberg, or the Opera House with towering summits making up the sails.  After breakfast we chose the latter and by mid morning we were boarding zodiacs in a channel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we were in the land of nod, a scrape and a shudder, an occasional thump and wakening silence drew us to peer out portholes across an icescape stretching to infinity.  The night before last, we’d ventured “marginal ice” (according to the chart) and well into “8/10ths pack”, a world of pressure ridges, ice hummocks [...]]]></description>
