Creator's Key Takeaways

the waters were so calm on our Crossing that we made great time on our Voyager cross the average time is almost two full days and we shaved about 12 hours off that

I even treated myself to massage on the second day of the Crossing

it's amazing to be back in Antarctica and we were lucky to have such an easy Crossing

we even got to spot a pot of whales while we were sailing through the Drake it was just an idyllic day on the Southern Ocean

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Attend the mandatory IAATO briefing for rules on ashore and wildlife interaction
βœ“Participate in biosecurity screening to protect the Antarctic environment
