We set sail to slowly drop off the bottom of the map from Cape Horn, and voyage on an expedition down into the icy underworld of Antarctica.
The Drake Passage is an extraordinary voyage of romantic ocean-faring legend, as we aim for Antarctica’s icy realm. On arrival, skyscraper-sized icebergs saluted us, as we traversed the waters of this continent where snow and ice-dwelling creatures like penguins and whales roam undisturbed.
Your first sight of this most-unexplored place was Yankee Harbor. Tomorrow, we will walk in the footsteps of some of history’s greatest and bravest explorers as we explore famed, snow-covered landmasses.
If the journey across the Drake Passage sounds daunting, don’t worry – even in rough seas, we were never alone. We will be accompanied on this spine-tingling adventure by soaring albatrosses and a protective pod of humpbacks and hourglass dolphins. Converging warm and cool ocean currents attract some spectacular animal life to the passage.
