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

This should not be a deal breaker for anybody wanting to go to antarctica

We have actually sent more people to antarctica than any other cruise line in the world 35 of all people that have been to antarctica on a cruise ship have actually gone with panant
