We have anchored off of Mikkelsen Harbour. The rocky islet is on a small bay on the southern side of Trinity Island in the Palmer Archipelago. The harbour was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1901-04. The island is home to Gentoo penguins and fur seals. Moss patches are scattered amongst the rocks. Red and green algae have formed on top of the snow. Our zodiac encountered 2 playful leopard seals on the way to the island. The penguins were swimming and popping out of the water like dolphins do. Upon shore we were greeted by Whale bones and an old whaling boat from the early 1900’s.
