Going by ship to Antarctica is still very dangerous. Check out my youtube video regarding our December crossing of the notorious Drake Passage: the stretch of ocean between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Hopefully, the conditions will be better when we return.....

    Not all of #Antarctica is covered in snow and ice. The western Antarctic Peninsula has seen nearly 90% of its glaciers retreat as a result of rapid warming. This retreat has exposed soils that are now subject to plant colonization.
