    Perito Moreno

    18 Desember 2022, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    We had initially planned to spend a day in Perito Moreno to see a cave with prehistoric hand paintings inside.

    But as we go on, we've been prioritizing a bit better and decided to skip here to spend more time in El Chaltén to maximize our mountain time.

    We still planned to spend a night here to break up what would have otherwise been a ridiculously long drive.

    We also planned to stop here to be back in Argentina for the world cup final.

    We did indeed make it back in time to watch (most of) the game, only to find an absolute ghost town.

    No people, no cars, no dogs, not a tumbleweed in sight. Nothing open. We couldn't even find a bar to watch the game!!

    Driving up and down the avenue, Anna happened to spy a small group of people in a bakery watching the game. They graciously allowed us to join them, (the jersey Zach got in Mendoza may have helped) and we were able to watch the drama unfold in a bread shop with a small but extremely dedicated group of fans.

    Argentina became world Champs and in no more than 2 minutes the streets were absolutely flooded with people, sirens, horns, music, and absolute jubilation. What had been a ghost town moments prior was now full of life with people dancing on cars and rooftops, climbing street poles, the fire brigade even came out and was hosing down the crowd in celebration.

    It was amazing to be part of, and wonderful to have made some memories where otherwise we may not have had any.

    Viva Argentina! Campeones del Mundo!!!    Baca selengkapnya

    El Chaltén

    22 Desember 2022, Argentina ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    Got to hike up to the famous Mount Fitz Roy!!

    This was a big one for us, definitely one the coolest looking mountains around and absolutely worth the journey and the 11 kilometer hike up to its base.

    Anna did great with her knee, and luckily, our hostel offered hiking poles to take for free. The hike itself wasn't too bad except the last kilometer is quite steep, and there's lots of loose rock and gravel, we were definitely grateful for the poles on that stretch!

    We had the best weather during our stay in El Chaltén the day we went, which we were very happy about, although there was a bit of cloud cover by the time we got to the top.

    Nonetheless, it was an amazing experience in an amazing part of the world. It's just gorgeous here with the blue lakes, tall mountains, huge glaciers, and the unspoiled nature.

    We were quite lucky to be able to see a friend we met in San Pedro de Atacama here as well, a super fun treat to encounter another adventurer and exchange some stories!

    Gotta say, though, the wind is absolutely crazy but that doesn't put a damper on anything down here!    Baca selengkapnya

    El Calafate

    24 Desember 2022, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    The epic Perito Moreno glacier is near El Calafate.

    My God did it exceed expectations! It's huge, beautiful and very active! It's constantly breaking and groaning, getting ready to calf. We witnessed 5 or 6 pretty good chunks fall off in our short time there.

    It really left us with an impression of just how beautiful and powerful mother nature is. This is absolutely not to be missed.    Baca selengkapnya

    Puerto Natales

    29 Desember 2022, Chili ⋅ 🌬 8 °C

    Well, true to form, at our last stop in Chile the luck (or lack thereof) continued.

    It absolutely poured rain, the wind was off the charts, and the conditions on the trails we wanted to hike were extremely bad with ice and mud, so ultimately we decided to just stay in the room for our 3 days here.

    It's too bad, we really wanted to see the Torres del Paine but it wasn't in the cards for us this time.

    We leave Chile feeling defeated, not having accomplished a lot of what we came here to do, and not seeing a lot of what we came here to see.

    But we move on back to Argentina and with big things ahead, Ushuaia and the end of the world await!    Baca selengkapnya

    Ushuaia

    3 Januari 2023, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    Ushuaia, El Fin del Mundo, the southern most city in the world!

    We came earlier than we had originally planned to be here to celebrate the new year, or as it's referred to here, the end of the year at the end of the world.

    We stayed with the most incredible local family. The apartment was lovely, they brought us lots of fruit, fresh baked bread, they left us champagne on New Years Eve, and they even gave us some fresh, delicious homemade empanadas!

    The weather luck continued here. There is some hiking and sightseeing to do in the area, but with so much rain and cloud, we didn't end up doing much of that!

    We did meet some really great people here. Fellow travelers and adventurers, some of whom are continuing on to Antarctica, some are not, but we had a blast at the local pubs with our friends from Austria and the Netherlands.

    The excitement was building by the minute here. We picked up all our snow gear, and we spent some time at the pier watching the ships come and go.

    Next, we go to Antarctica, the seventh continent, the most remote region in the world, the land of adventurers and discoverers.

    Lindblad Cove

    7 Januari 2023, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ❄️ -1 °C

    63.51° S 59.25°W

    "Good morning everyone, good morning, and welcome to Antarctica!"

    The words that we woke up to on our first day officially at the seventh continent.

    We sprang out of bed with shivers going down our spines and rushed up to the deck to get our first glimpse. We were greeted with an exceptionally moody, and if I must say, fitting day. Cold with low hanging clouds, very calm water, and overflowing emotion.

    We stood on deck simultaneously crying and laughing, surrounded by sea ice, icebergs, and an indescribable calm.

    We were told the conditions would allow us to get out in the Zodiacs, and we quickly hurried to get ready for our first foray into Antarctica.

    We cruised around one giant iceberg, with the lighting conditions really accentuating the blue tones in the ice. We were greeted by a dwarf Minke whale who spent a few minutes swimming around our tiny boat, no doubt curious about his new visitors. Little did we know it was just a taste of things to come.

    Something you can't capture in photographs is the emotion. There's a feeling that comes along with being here, our first taste of which we received this morning. It's a mix of excitement, adventure, peace, and a growing respect for the beauty, power, and importance of nature.

    Our expedition team worked very hard to plan our time in Antarctica, chasing weather conditions suitable to getting off the ship, planning our excursions to maximize our time down here.

    With that, we enjoyed our Zodiac cruise and headed off to our second site of the day, ravenously curious to find out what lay ahead.    Baca selengkapnya

    Mikkelsen Harbour

    7 Januari 2023, Antartika ⋅ 🌧 2 °C

    63.54°S 60.47°W

    In the afternoon of our first day, we cruised past Tower Island, a place so remote and infrequently visited we were the first ship to record soundings, and we were told only about 100 people had ever been there. We then visited Mikkelsen Harbour, near Trinity Island.

    We were to visit a Gentoo Penguin colony on D'hainaut Island.

    These were our first steps on land in Antarctica! At our first steps on shore, we saw the remains of a blue whale and an old whaling ship. Huge veterbrae and a giant skull lay there on the beach, left behind from the heyday of whaling.

    We walked around the island, observing the hilarious little dudes in their natural environment. We learned about penguin behaviour, breeding tendencies, and nest building. We didn't see any chicks at this colony, but we did see one Penguin stealing pebbles from another, and one poor guy just trying to get home but having a hard time!

    There was a 'refuge hut' placed on the island back in the 50s for anyone who may have needed safety in the time before modern communication, and we saw a broken egg we think was stolen and dropped by a bird to eat the chick inside.

    Very cool experience to walk among the penguins, surrounded by the same moody, pristine environment as the morning.    Baca selengkapnya

    Orne Harbour

    8 Januari 2023, Antartika ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

    64.37°S 62.34°W

    At Orne Harbour we made our first steps on to the continent proper!

    This is the site of the only Chinstrap Penguin colony on the continent of Antarctica, and we did a small hike up around a few nesting sites to a great view point over looking the Harbour itself.

    We got some great views of the chinstraps, and we got to witness a National Geographic moment, an Antarctic Skua trying to steal eggs or chicks from a nesting site being fought off by the penguins. The penguins won!

    We had a zodiac cruise around the gorgeous Harbour, surrounded by icebergs and the towering, dark, glacier covered mountains.    Baca selengkapnya

    Wilhelmina Bay

    8 Januari 2023, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌧 1 °C

    64.25°S 62.5W

    Wilhelmina Bay may have just been the highlight of the trip.

    We went whale watching by zodiac in the afternoon.

    The usual process is to be called down to the mudroom, put your gear on, wait to be called, do partner safety check, be checked by the guides etc. The process can take some time, and although no corners were cut, we were being told by our guides to hurry as much as possible, go, go, go!

    We scrambled into the zodiacs and were treated with what I can only be described as wildlife encounter so intimate and close-up as to be spiritual.

    We went out to our spot and first we were investigated by a pod of up to 20 orcas. As you can see from the video (Credit to our amazing expedition leader and whale biologist Marilia), they were extremely inquisitive and curious, and we were as close as I think you'd ever want to be to an animal with 'killer' in its name.

    After the orcas left, we continued, and approached some whale blows we saw in the distance. Our zodiac driver stopped at the usual safe distance and we waited, and AGAIN, the humpback came so close to us you felt like you could touch them.

    They were playing with us, making calls when they came up for air, splashing their fins and tails, giving us everything (and more) we could have asked for.

    Our guide said that in his 17 years of Antarctic guiding, he had never seen anything like it. It was deeply moving to have been so close to such a huge, majestic creature.

    When they did finally go on their way there were tears, hugging and many, many thanks to our incredible guides.

    My only regret is that I can't post more here, (I'm limited to 2 videos).

    So I will post what I can for now, and we will make a compilation when we get some time to try to convey the magnitude of this experience.

    Just incredible.

    Back aboard the ship that evening we all did the Polar plunge! The water temperature was -0.3 degrees (yes, you read that right). They tied a rope on to us, just in case, had some amp up music going in the mud room, and treated us with a shot of Vodka after completing the feat.

    Yes it was cold, but damn do you feel good!

    That evening we celebrated a birthday with the group of friends we had made on board the ship.
    Us, a Canadian couple from Toronto, a Brazilian couple from Miami, and 2 Australian couples all bonded pretty early on on the voyage (something I will talk more about later), and everyone had a great time on our new friend Mikes birthday, some even said it was the best day of their lives.

    Danco Island

    9 Januari 2023, Antartika ⋅ 🌧 1 °C

    64.43°S 62.36 W

    Another great morning in Antarctica.

    We got to make a landing on Danco Island, in the Errera Channel to see a penguin colony and some great views of the bay. The huge mountains provided great protection from winds, and it was as calm as could be.

    Beautiful blue icebergs, more whale watching, big groups of penguins out swimming, eating their krill, it felt like we had a little bit of everything this morning.    Baca selengkapnya
