Icebergs and Sunlight

And this morning there are more… I woke up and looked outside and at a glance there are 30 icebergs within view off the starboard side of the ship. Still no sea ice but that should show up within a day or two.
And we’ve crossed into the Antarctic circle, and it is close enough to solstice that the sun won’t set anymore. It is low to the horizon. I’m expecting the next 6 or 7 hours to be a rosy dusk/dawn. Hopefully the icebergs will turn pink.
