In the afternoon we traveled to Cierva Cove in Hughes Bay. It is named for Juan de la Cierva, Spanish designer of the autogiro, the first successful rotation wing aircraft in 1923 which was used for exploration here in the past. The glacial fronts were most impressive and the Fauna included blue-eyed shags, brown skuas and snow petrels. We took a zodiac tour of the area and enjoyed the scenery, especially the Minke and Humpback whales(fluke pictured) that were frolicking and feeding in the area. Also complete with icebergs and a leopard seal.
