Departing Palmer Station and going home Part 1

Departing Palmer Station onboard the Laurence M. Gould.


The view from the bridge.

A rare flat berg.


Cruising through the Neumayer Channel the Gerlache Straight on a beautiful Antarctic day. After the Gerlache Straight is the infamous Drake Passage.

With a Palmer winter behind me I have joined the "Old Antarctic Explorers" club.

We have sailed through the Drake Passage.

  1. This voyage is amazing and I know you were grateful to not be sick. We both understand the movement of water and the rough seas cause many strong people to struggle. I hope you enjoy your few days on land! See you soon!
