Excerpt from the day's Journal:
"We landed on the southern side of the island, where a light coating of snow had fallen through the night. The snow continued to fall lightly as we departed the ship, but visibility was good.
On shore, a perimeter was set up, with lookouts creating the boundary. Inside this area we were able to wander freely, explore the landscape and take the time to think about this land we have been privileged to visit. A few of us opted to walk a loop stopping at each guard to chat and get some exercise. Most of us stayed lower on the landscape, preferring to investigate the small lake nearby and the multi-tonal rocks underfoot. With the snow and fog looming, our visibility became lessened to a level that had us returning back to the beach and to the ship."
