Antarctica
It's been two days since we've left Ushuaia. We still haven't reach the peninsula and I've spent most of my time lying in bed to avoid the sea sickness. I've puked a bunch of times.... but the sea seems to be getting better as we are approaching South Georgia Island. It’s quite unreal the atmosphere there is, crossing the famous Drake passage, (worse crossing in the world) surrounded by these massive waves. We've seen a few whales already, the crew is really excited despite the long journey. we stopped over at Trinity Island, which is loaded with peaks and first descents. We got out to strectch our legs, whcih was well needed. Can't wait to see what's on the other side...!
Check out the previous entry from the trip.
**There is so much ice in the Drake Passage. The visuals are unrivaled. Crazy Mountains everywhere.**
**Xavier and Jeremy playing around on a steep snowfield.**
**The ice and peaks come straight out of the ocean. Jeremy Jones prepares himself for the steeps.**
**The land of Ice and Snow. It is mind blowing.**
**The view from Jeremy and Xavier's room. Dream lines are everywhere.**
