6: Icebreaker

Island Hopping closer to their final destination, Rachel and the crew visit Bird Island, Deception Island, travel through stunning channels and bash through sea ice before Glaciated mountains tower above us.

Of course all this is shot through with Secret Santa plans and emergency crafting with medical items from the onboard hospital before we celebrate Christmas in the most remote region of the world.
