When you go across the South Atlantic and see nothing but water for 2 weeks – any sign of life is understood almost as a miracle in such remote and harsh conditions. This is also true for Antarctica, where one needs to add the low temperatures and ice in order for species to survive. Thus every time an albatross would dance with the waves, following our ice-breaker, we were amazed about how they can fly so far way from land. When the ship got closer to an island in the Antarctica Peninsula, we would have the company of some Cape Petrels - called kapsturmvogel in German - with amazing wing-patterns of black and white standing against the blue and white of icebergs.
