Antarctica is otherworldly, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Stark, cold, beautiful desolation.
- Mark Hoppus
For my 40th birthday, I took a boat from Ushuaia in Argentina to visit the 7th continent at the bottom of the world. The landscape, the animals, and the weather are all unique and we were incredibly fortunate in how far south we were able to go.
At our most southern only 3,000 people were lower on the globe than we were.
The Gullet
The Gullet is a thin body of water between the eastern edge of Adelaide Island and the west coast of Graham Land. Its descriptive name is comparatively recent, though Charcot discovered the location in 1909. We encountered a few fur seals playing in the water during our run to the Gullet just off of our port side and a few Minki whales in the distance.
