Danco Island and Orne Bay

We spent the morning touring the waters around Orne Bay before landing on Danco Island.  We saw many penguin colonies and seals on the icebergs.  We took a short walk on the beach of Danko Island where there are numerous colonies.  On the zodiac cruise back to the ship we were treated to a penguin show.  At least 50 jumping penguins followed the boat and swam under it.  Penguins look very different in the water than they do on land.  In the water their wet feathers and bodies are so sleek they look like they are made of porcelain.  Donna put her iPhone in a waterproof bag and lowered it into the water and got some great video of them.  This was our last day in Antarctica so we put our seasickness patches back on.  Tonight we began our two-day journey back across the Drake Passage to Ushuaia.
