Snow Flurries and Icebergs

As we are within a few miles of our first land sighting in Antarctica, there are occasional Icebergs of markedly varying sizes floating past.  Here's a small one.

Many crew who've not seen snow are out touching flurries and delighting in the new experience.  Even one officer who was getting coffee at the same time I was, pointed out the door, said "Snow." and walked outside.

The winds and swells have greatly diminished and the ship is quieter and more comfortable.  Outside visibility is limited by a uniformly gray, low-hanging fog/clouds reminiscent of February in northern Illinois.  Outside temperature is 33°F.  The captain just announced wildlife should be visible in about two hours.  He didn't say whether it will be whales, seals or penguins.  But he did mention that the ice pilots are on the bridge with him.
