Antarctica, February 6, 2022
My favorite photo from that trip.
Minke whale sighting.
One of the locals in repose.
Our ship, Ocean Victory, in the bay at Deception Island.
We ran a circuit starting at the Chinese Research Station, ran by the Russian and Chilian Stations, then turned around at the Uruguayan Station. Out and back was only 4.5 miles, so we did that six @#$%&* times! It was summer in Antarctica, so there was a lot of standing water, which meant mud; at times it was like running through peanut butter. We wore our bibs on our thighs so we could add and subtract layers as conditions changed. This picture was taken on the first lap.
We also did the Polar Plunge. Only requirement was to immerse the entire body. It wasn’t as shocking as I thought, but I didn’t stay in long. If you look closely, you’ll notice I still have the anti-chafing tape on my chest.
Our departure and termination points for the cruise was Ushuaia, Argentina, “Fin del Mundo”, the southernmost city in the world.
