Marty’s photo of the day #4695: Deb and I have occasionally talked about returning to Antarctica, but we recently learned that getting to Antarctica by crossing the Drake Passage (famous for the roughest seas in the world) has largely become a thing of the past. Instead, people fly down to Antarctica and then get on a waiting boat. Talk about wimping out! Some of Deb’s and my best memories of our Antarctica adventure took place during the long journey between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica. This photo shows a huge wave crashing over our little ship in the Drake Passage. It was so much fun—and the touch of seasickness that came with it was worth it!
