Passing the Arctic Circle Globe

Ironically, when the day's schedule had little to interest us, the latter half of the afternoon was crammed.

After our talk on Whale Motherhood, we stepped out onto Deck 6 hoping to see the ship sail past the Arctic Circle Globe, which we'd missed on the way up as it was pitch dark (and we were in bed ;o))

It was worth standing in the cold just to get a better sight of views like this, as the ship passed several small islands, some dotted with a few lonely huts glowing with their friendly lit windows.
