An Adventure Across the Antarctic Circle!

Taking on the Polar Plunge!
Taking on the Polar Plunge!
My friend and I ventured south of the Antarctic Circle aboard the Hebridean Sky with Polar Latitudes. We hiked Tierra del Fuego and explored the city of Ushuaia before we set off on the Drake Passage. While in Antarctica, we explored the continent via zodiac, history lessons on every landing and "kiss the fish ceremonies after we crossed the Drake Passage.

Ushuaia - Check it Out!

Cruises to Antarctica depart from a really neat port town at the end of the world. The southernmost “city” in the world is Ushuaia’s claim to fame. For a city that is isolated from most of the world, Ushuaia has a bustling main drag, a plethora of hotels and an incredibly busy pier. There is no shortage of ways you can fill your …

Seal Team Assemble - Shore Excursions aboard the Hebridean Sky!

With the IAATO regulations only allowing cruise ships operating in Antarctica, I was curious to find out how ships that are over 100 passengers handle the flow of shore landings and daily excursions to ensure everyone is having a phenomenal trip while still complying.

After we had made it across the circle on Day 4, the real adventure began. We …

Camping on the Frozen Continent

There is a certain breed of adventurers who cannot help but camp whenever they roam. Luckily for me, Polar Latitudes provides the opportunity on some of their departures to their more adventurous guests who want the opportunity to sleep out on the frozen land in subzero temperatures.

Camping is definitely not an excursion that everyone will want …
