Russian word of the day: кит





Pronunciation: "keet"



English Translation: Whale






Welcome aboard the orlova: a russian owned and operated ship that rests in the hands of captain Igor. while igor may be a man of few words, he is an inteligent and perceptive all around bad-ass of the bridge. while you may be squinting through the binoculars, focused on your surroundings, he will lean back nonchalantly, a cigarette hanging from his lips, and effortlessly proclaim ..."kit"... after your hours of fruitless attempts. Don´t be dismayed, however, by his wildlife spotting superiority. he is master in command of a ship the frequents antarctic waters. you are a silly little tourist.


Humpback whale!
