After a splendid week exploring the southern Chilean fjords, we find ourselves sailing between South America and Antarctica crossing the famous Drake Passage, a stretch of water feared by some but greatly anticipated by those who love nature. It is here that we have a chance to experience some of the most magnificent creatures that live in the open oceans. It is also here where we have time to fully comprehend how far Antarctica is from the rest of the world and to earn serious bragging rights for overcoming this almost ritualistic crossing!
