Creator's Key Takeaways

I've made this crossing 52 times on various vessels throughout my many years of career of sailing down to antarctica and at least 50 percent of the time we call it the drake lake

The reward at the end of that is much more than the risk that you would have of sailing across the drake passage

Antarctica is a continent of science and in 1959 13 signatory countries signed a treaty that said that antarctica would be a continent for science and peace

I have really fallen in love with iceland and um i'm very much looking forward to the trip

Creator's Tips & Advice
