Antarctica

It’s estimated that only 1% of the population has visited Antarctica. We spent 10 days, traversing Drake Passage on a Silver Seas cruise boat with 200 other Antarctican enthusiasts. It took about 2 days to pass from Chile to Antarctica, and our passage through ‘The Drake’ was a 1 out of 10 (meaning very mild). We saw all kinds of penguins, whales, seals, birds, icebergs, glaciers, mini avalanches; all while hiking on land and kayaking on water. We loved our time in Antarctica and plan to visit again in our future!
