Introduction

Our Fellow Adventurers

In addtion to Ann and Curt, there were 8 others. Cath and Greg were in charge of Icebird; Phil and Alex led the kayaking; and Kevin, Mark, Rod, and Claire were, like us, paying serious money for the privilege of being sea sick and cold---and of paddling where very few have paddled before.

The Drake Passage

This map shows our entire route. From Ushuaia, Argentina we sailed about 650 miles across the infamous Drake Passage to reach the Antarctic peninsula (dashed line). We then kayaked and motored along part of the peninsula (solid line) before returning to Ushuaia 30 days after leaving.
