Getting to and from Antarctica along our route means confronting the mighty Drake Passage twice, famous for extremely rough water that can be hard on passengers. The Drake was gentle on the trip south, but retaliated as we returned.

I dragged myself to the bridge for this demonstration of the Drake's power, a segment from "There’s Something About Penguins”, the free video saga of how I survived a cruise to Antarctica, featuring four delightful species of penguins, plus whales, seals, icebergs, glaciers, human outposts, unbelievable scenery, and much more. Antarctica is a visual delight.
