Due to rough weather, the Monumental Island landing was cancelled. Half the ship was seasick. Winds were 25 knots.

6:00 am The zodiac trip to shore at Cape Mercy in beautiful, sunny weather. One group hiked to a pretty freshwater lake. We also saw some interesting plant life-river beauty fire weed, moss campions , as well as some fool’s gold and mica on the rocky shoreline. Also spotted were glaucous gulls, black guillemot and canada geese, rare for the arctic.
Later in the day, we saw a polar bear swimming off the starboard side near icebergs.
