Antarctica 1
Images from the South Shetland Islands and Cape Horn.
The length of time it takes to cross the Drake Passage, between Tierra Del Fuego and the Antarctic Peninsula, depends on the mood of the roughest sea in the world.
We spent 2 days sailing South through Force 10-11 storms to reach the South Shetland Islands, which lie about 100miles N of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Our return journey was so calm that we had time to detour, briefly, and sail in the Pacific Ocean before rounding Cape Horn.
