Day 11 (11th Jan): Drake Passage in Antarctica and Argentina Travel log

We again entered conference mode. The Drake passage was pretty rough last night before we passed the South Shetland Islands, but once we were in the open, it was pretty calm - back to Lake Lagoda levels. So hopefully it will stay that way.

Hurtigruten had stuff for us to do: lectures on Antarctic public policies, reports by guest scientists, even a clay penguin-making art session. We also returned out boots and landing group badges. And the in the afternoon we had Q&A with the officers, the expedition team, and the behind-the-scene lectures on the ship. Tomorrow we get to visit the bridge, so I am looking forward to that. It will be another full-day sea day, but hopefully we’ll get to the Beagle channel before the end of next day.
