This is the next part of our exciting upcoming adventure. And this time it’s by sea. Very shortly, my husband and I will travelling from Ushuaia, Argentina to Antarctica via the Drake Passage on board @VikingCruises Expedition Ship, Viking Octantis. If you’re not heard of the Drake Passage before, it’s a 600 mile stretch of water between the southern tip of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula. It’s a body of water where three oceans converge - the Southern Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean and the South Atlantic Ocean. This meeting of oceans can sometimes lead to a rough crossing, know as the ‘Drake Shake’. 😳 We’re crossing our fingers however for gentle winds and small swells, known as the ‘Drake Lake’, during the journey which can take between 36 to 48 hours. Come with us on our ‘Antarctic Explorer’ voyage by following here on Instagram. And on my return, I’ll also be creating videos for my YouTube channel.
