Our closest point to the South Pole came at 63 degrees, 20 minutes south on February 6th.
Goodbye to Antartica and on the way to Ushuaia. Captain Abhi Singh attracts medical emergencies like Captain Stan attracts troubled ships at sea. Another emergency saw us dashing across the Drake Passage in an effort to arrive in Ushuaia early. Like, 8 hours early!
