Crossed the Antarctic Convergence...

Which is also called the Polar Front and the temperature drops significantly. The difference between being outside this morning to now is intense. Now it feels cold. The wind has a refrigerator quality, something about how it holds moisture I think.

Still going through some deep swells but already not as rough as we leave the Drake Passage.

But we've encoutered our first ICEBERG, seen through the window while we were beinprepped on what to expect and how to behave when we start going ashore. Which might be as soon as this afternoon!
