Antarctica – Part 4 – The Drake Passage

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The Plancius sailed calmly out of Ushuaia via the Beagle Channel. Soon after we began crossing the infamous “Drake Passage”. 2 Days of open seas, wind and big swells, where the Atlantic & Pacific converge with the Southern Ocean…hang on.

Antarctica Part 2 – Ushuaia, Argentina: Arrival & Hike

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

After a long flight to Ushuaia, Argentina (on the island of Tierra del Fuego), it was a great to do a day hike to Laguna Esmerelda. My guide Daniela was exceptional at explaining everything from Tierra del Fuego flora and fauna in the area, to favorites bars & restaurants in Ushuaia. Move over Ken Burns… please to enjoy this multimedia extravaganza!

Antarctica – Part 1 – Tierra del Fuego – beyond the end of the world

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Hola Travelers – Tierra del Fuego is an island that lies south of Chile/Argentina. After 27 hours of flying from Seattle, and 5 plane changes I was ecstatic when I saw that my bag had also arrived in Ushuaia (Argentina). Sure the flight was long, but the flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas, along the spine of the Andes was incredible – Mt. Fitzroy (Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina) is the peak in the photo with the patagonian ice fields. After all that flying it was time for a beer with my plane mate Ben, from Australia.
