REAL-TIME NOTE: We are back in Orlando. (and WiFi). Our flight from Ushuaia landed in Aruba!? Turns out Argentina has no formal agreement with the US for inbound flights(?) so we landed in Aruba, deplaned, ID'ed baggage, went through US customs, re-checked in, reboarded and lifted off for Orlando!
Meantime more amazing photos of Antarctica:

| This is a wreck of a whaling ship from around 100 years ago. At the end of a very successful season with the tanks full of whale oil, they celebrated their fortune before sailing back to Norway. Party got our of hand, a fire started and destroyed the ship and the oil and the company. The drunken sailors survived. The mast behind is a modern sailboat!? We discovered it takes sailboats 4 days to cross the Drake! Insane with seas 10-30 feet! |
