We ended up on a splendid radiant Tuesday morning in a Zodiac boat, being postponed by three humpback whales on our approach to state our promises.
I'll be straightforward; this was not my thought. We had booked a wedding service in Bristol followed before supper with companions. I don't have anyplace close to enough creative mind to consider something epic as getting hitched in Antarctica. Be that as it may, Alex, our companion, set up an excursion that should not be taken lightly traveling south, truly far south, to get hitched. Much appreciated Alex!
We set sail for Antarctica from a little messy town in southern Argentina called Ushuaia. The most southerly port town on the planet. From that point it is a multi day sail to the Antarctic peninsular. This sail can either be unpleasant as Poseidon's fierceness or quiet as a factory lake. We had it some place in the middle of, and the vessel we cruised on, the Hebridean Sky had best in class stabilizers, which implied we had a lovely smooth intersection regardless of some hindrances en route.
Showing up into Antarctica, particularly if the sun is sparkling, resembles showing up no place else on the planet. It resembles jewels, and frozen yogurt, and your best ever Snow capped occasion. Amazing. Our commander turned the Hebridean Sky to Starboard and we set out straightforwardly toward the Neumayer channel, a limited stretch of water with mountains arriving at directly up 1,000 meters from the frigid seawater.
As we cruised further south through the divert we ticked off a lot of firsts, our first humpback, our first Balance whale, our first penguins, our first ocean ice, our first chunk of ice. The rundown was as exciting as the air was cold.
