This is the end

This is the end of the cruise. During the last month we were sampling the Bransfield Strait and the Drake Passage but now the Coupling cruise is over. We sailed to Ushuaia (Argentina) with a rather good weather. The sea was in calm but with some swell. Before we enter the Beagle Channel we stop in Puerto Español in order to wait for the Pilots from the Argentinian Army (compulsory to sail through the channel). Now, we are in Ushuaia. Good food, good meat, vegetables (at last) and some drinks to celebrate the happy end. Below some more pictures of the cruise, some ice (of course) and more specimens of the fauna on board.

The featured ice for today

Sailing in the Drake Passage approaching Cape Horn. As it can be observed the sea is almost in calm.
