The Drake Passage has many moods. Crossing to Antarctica you might experience a storm like I posted yesterday or these dreamy ripples of blue. A cape petrel glides over the vinyl grooves of the Southern Ocean. #meetthenorth #meetthesouth #lindbladexpeditions #antarcticambassadors #drakepassage #pintado #petrel #seabirds #blackandwhite #southernocean #water #wildbeauty
Most ships that head to the southern end of the world must pass through a gateway called the Drake Passage. This pinch point between Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica creates some of the most changeable seas on earth. I’ll be on the National Geographic Explorer all month, and it will be fun to post from…
I know how much I love snow at the north end of the world. (Beautiful Svalbard pictured here.) It’s time to go see what’s happening at the south end. Antarctica, here I come! #meetthenorth #antarcticambassadors #lindbladexpeditions #meetthesouth #ice #landscape #svalbard
This is not the north. You knew that because these are penguins. But what better place to reflect on the Arctic than Antarctica? I spent a month there, and now I’m home, refuelled, full of questions and preparing for a Baffin Island adventure next month. It’s good to be home.
