Antarctica Travel Blog Nov 18: Alone in the Ross Sea
NOVEMBER 18TH, 2011 -- 7PM
Atop the Kapitan Khlebnikov (Laurie Allread)
Tomorrow will be another day of crushing ice as Coulman Island is still 170 miles away. Due to the large ice floes and sea currents, we have traveled only half as far as yesterday. Now we are heading in a southeasterly direction because that is where the lightest ice is taking us. Ice charts are not always accurate so the captain completed three helicopter recon to view the ice miles ahead in search of the lightest ice so we can head further south. After all we are the only passenger ship in the Ross Sea at this time. We may very well be the only ship, other than a supply ship, in the Ross Sea this early in the year. We are limited to our own resources to find our way south.
kevin Moore, our agent, is very knowledgeable about the tours and details, and researches quickly any follow up ?s.

I've been working w/ Franny and Phen on the Heart of the Arctic Cruise next year. They've both been very friendly and helpful in answering my many questions as we work out the details for the trip. Thank you!
