Day 4 - Cape Norton Shaw

Wow day 4 was spectacular. Today we awoke to sunshine and the promise of helicopter sightseeing. We were lucky enough to be in the first group and the first flight. Fabulous views and a wonderful experience. It takes between 6-7 hours to get everyone onboard up in the helicopters. The ship has divided us into groups - we’re in the Viking group. This facilitates getting us on and off the ship and the groups rotate in order for fairness. While the skies were clear today the seas were a bit choppy so we chose not to do the zodiac tour in the afternoon. Great views from the ship and everyone who went returned quite wet - happy with our decision.
At tonight’s briefing they announced we won’t get to Axel Helberg due to too much ice. The ship does a great job of pivoting and communicating the changes. I am getting used to the constant changes - hard on my planner brain - perfect for Adrian though. This ship has the best stateroom I’ve ever had. Well organized - lots of storage. The food is a bit underwhelming but that’s been overshadowed by all the other good stuff.
