Locals proudly say that Tierra del Fuego is the end of the world. If you don’t agree Ushuaia is the southernmost town in the world… In the morning I went with my backpack to the town. Ushuaia changed a lot since my last visit – it is more elegant, cleaner and bigger… Believe or not – it seems that it is my fifth visit to “the end of the world” In the little port I see from the distance little, navy-blue ship. It is “Ortelius”. I will be embarking at 2 pm and then the big adventure will start. Yes, there is satelite internet on the ship, but it is very expensive and not reliable in the Antarctic. So, do not be surprised if the next message will appear here only on November 24th. Please keep your fingers crossed for the good weather in the stormy Drake Passage and for the favorable ice condition in the Weddel Sea. I hope that emperor penguins are already waiting there for me! 🙂
