In Antarctica Deception Island is just an incredible place to see. To get there we had to veer our boat through the narrow passage known as Neptune's Bellows. We gathered on deck and looked out in awe as this marvellous island came into view. Indeed the magic of Deception Island in Antarctica was just beginning.
It was cold and chilly on deck and a wee bit windy. A brave crowd had gathered on deck to view our narrow entrance through the slim channel into Deception Island.
Deception Island in Antarctica is c shaped! This makes the entrance into it very tricky through the narow pasage known as Neptune's Bellows. The ship swayed a bit but the captain did a great job in steering us into into the magical Deception Island.
And the entrance is like going into the letter "c" so this was a special slow motion part of the Antarctica adventure, another exciting time to be up on deck as the captain, Bulgarian Asparuh Chorbadzhiev sailed us into the narrow entrance at Neptune's Bellows.
It was one of a few times I visited the Bridge during the sailing and it was quite busy - everyone wanted to hear and watch the captain at work in what is a tricky job.
Our captain worked it well - using his experience to sail the ship rather easily through Neptune's Bellows and into Deception Island in Antarctica in front of a lot of the passengers and crew!
Neptune's Bellows (630S 6034W) is a channel on the southeast side of Deception Island forming the entrance to Port Foster, in the South Shetland Islands. The name, after the Roman sea god Neptune, was appended by American sealers prior to 1822 because of the strong gusts experienced in this narrow channel.
After 20 minutes we had done it - the captain did an immense job profesionally getting us inside this island for a truly wonderful experience. Antarctica and Neptune's Bellows were awesome!
