| Tourists pay $20,000 for a cruise through these waters. |
 |

 |
| Looks nice enough to swim in. |

| June 16th, 2020 the Lawrence M. Gould departs with the summer/partial winter crew for Punta Arenas, Chile. Our winter begins over two months late due to COVID. But we made it after seven COVID tests! |
 |
| A beautiful sight as us 16 winterovers settle into Palmer Station. The Gould will return for us in November. |
