The Drake Lake refers to times when the famed Drake Passage has incredibly calm seas with little to no wave action, a light breeze, and no rain. This is what we experienced today. We couldn’t be happier to say that both crossings on this voyage were a cake walk.
Through the ship’s windows, we had sporadic fleeting glimpses of whales and dolphins. Our naturalists gave talks on historical navigation and how organisms use smell to make sense of this extreme environment.
In the early afternoon, we spotted a blue whale!
We slowly cruised past Cape Horn and made our way to the Beagle Channel ahead of schedule, safely arriving to the Port of Ushuaia.
Thank you all so much for an unforgettable journey over these past ten days.
