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 it was windy. It was freezing and chilly. Most of the crew had come up to the main deck to witness our arrival through this narrow passage in Antarctica into Deception Island. The magic was clear to see already.
Deception Island in Antarctica is c shaped! This makes the entrance into it very tricky through the narrow passage 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.
Indeed the arrival through Neptune's Bellows into Deception Island is marvellous as well as being tight and it feels like the ship is going in slow motion most of the time, which is true! You had to be out on the main deck to witness it - an amazing voyage was getting even better now!
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. He does a good job steering the ship in some really tricky and difficult weather conditions.
A photo of how the captain did it shows the concentration in his eyes as we steered ourselves through the straight and narrow passage to Neptune's Bellows at Deception Island. Some of those onboard were amazed by the captain's professionalism and work at getting us through the tight gap.
The location of Neptune's Bellows is near Port Foster at the entrance point to Deception Island in Antarctica. Deception Island itself is part of the South Shetland Islands. The geographic location is 63o 0 s, 60o 34 w and the bellows are named after Neptune, a Roman God of nature. It seems quite apt to name the bellows after a famous God.
After 20 minutes we had done it - the captain did an immense job professionally getting us inside this island for a truly wonderful experience. Antarctica and Neptune's Bellows were awesome!
