I had the opertunity to visit the cold Continent of Antartica on the majestic Bark Europa each Summer ( December it is in the southern hemisphere) this 100 year old sailing ship makes the three day journey through the Drake Passage to Elephant Island.
Once there you can't imagine how silence it is. Untouched unspoiled nature in white.
If you have the time and you are not getting seasick try this adventure it's something to remember and talk about.
