Detaille Island (Failed Landing)

Today we were supposed to land at Detaille Island, but the seas were too rough so we were stuck on board. Still we had great iceberg viewing when we were allowed on the outside decks & we saw our first iceberg "calve" where a big chunk of ice breaks off and falls in the water. It was so loud! We also had a lecture called: Ice is Nice. :)

This was a life changing trip of a lifetime and exceeded my expectations. No details were left out during the planning of this trip by Adventure Life. The entire crew on the ship could not have been more helpful and kind. Everyone went out of their way to make this trip as pleasurable as possible.
