Day 6 was a full day at Fournier Bay. The bay is known for glaciers, icebergs, whales and seals, but there is no beach to land. We took a zodiac cruise around the inner bay in the morning past impressive snow formations, and I kept waiting to hear the thunder boom of an iceberg breaking away from the glacier, and while it didn’t happen for us, other guests said they saw avalanches and calving glaciers. 

Our zodiac took us around the back side of False Island where we found a little rock cliff cove.

In the afternoon, we had a cruise on a special ops boat. We learned that this boat was designed for the Norwegian navy, hence the name. It can travel as fast as 40 knots (we only went 18 knots, and it seemed FAST.) The boat was also designed to be carried by helicopter and dropped into the sea and then zoom! Viking has designed this cruise ship experience to accommodate the special ops boats because it allows people with mobility issues and people in wheelchairs to be able to get off of the large ship and out onto the water. Awesome!

The special ops boat is also able to venture farther away from the main ship than the zodiacs, and on this trip, we zipped off to see a couple of huge icebergs. These icebergs blew my mind, easily twice as tall as our ship, so maybe 12-15 stories tall. Plus, the one looked like a giant monopoly house.

At the end of the day, our captain announce that we would sail through a special S-curve passage, which was amazing, and we ended up with a beautiful sunset.
