Goodbye South America.

Part 5 in my Journey to Antarctica. If you enjoy the stories and photos, please comment and let me know!

Ushuaia, Argentina.

Antarctica, I'm on my way. After a pleasant meal and an afternoon hike in Ushuaia, I boarded the ship that is to be my home for the next couple of weeks, the Le Lyrial. I was guided to my cabin, where I began to organize my things in drawers to make sure I can 1. Find and access what I need and 2. Secure things for when the ship starts to sway.

The final rays of light on our first day at sea.

Until now, it hardly seemed real, but as I watch South America shrink behind, it truly dawns on my what a great adventure I'm on.
