After watching all the action going on outside, we went fo breakfast which was excellent as usual. Cereals, boiled eggs, cold cuts, smoked salmon, herring, cheese, fresh baked bread, fresh fruit juice and steaming cups or rich, aromatic coffee. I also had some bread smothered with lashings of thick honey to finish with. Mmmmmmmm.
Back on deck I watched the Ivory Gulls feeding. They would hover above the stern looking for krill or fish that were displaced by our passing and would stall in flight, drop down and plunge into the frigid waters to snatch up a tasty morsel which they would then devour on a nearby piece of ice.
Searching for an opportunity.
The stall.
Plunge diving.
The kill.
Onto the ice.
Breakfast is served.
