Quick update… we are filming today, our last in Antarctica – studying the effects of global warming on Adélie Penguins with the American scientists at Palmer Station.
Like the condemmed we are also waiting and watching weather forecasts as we’re about to head back to South America, this time on the sailing boat. The rock and roll factor is noticeable even on the quiet waters around Antarctica – who knows how we will fare on the Drakes Passage. That’s the notorious stretch of water where 3 currents meet, high winds + massive waves that whip up off the undersea mountains! Named after the famous explorer/pirate Sir Francis Drake. We plan to leave tomorrow very early – 3 days later we hope to sight Cape Horn. Wowee! Will try and get the cameras running between barf bags…
