Antarctica Trips from new Zealand

Hurtigruten's MS Midnatsol was my cruise liner. Instead of brooding over Antarctic pictures and setting out to build hopes before my journey, I set sail southwards with as confined a spiritual image as possible. An Antarctic adventure requires corporeality. Delicate moorings are often on cliffy shores, there are cliffy stairs at Cape Horn and hiking trails at Deception Island, Neko Harbour and Damoy Point lead up the hill.

However, the less you have to concentrate on your own bodies, the more freely you can appreciate your environment. Go up and down the precipitous, bumpy floor in your neighborhood, take steps over the escalator, if you have the option, practice gentle getting in and out movements by turning your morning footstool 180° while you lift your feet over the canine.

We land on Cuverville Island. Drake Passage, which separates Chile and Argentina's Tierra del Fuego from the Antarctic Peninsula, is not always Lake Drake. Their work was like witchcraft and, apart from being a little blurred in my mind and fierce in my crossroads eye, I was otherwise fully function.

Swim on Half Moon Island. Becoming ill is the most serious, but preventing disease on a vessel requires caution. Cuverville Island is a place where a seals relax. Hurtigruten cruise boats are seasoned explorers of all age groups from all over the world who want to get you ashore as often as possible.

Cruise on a tanker on the island of Cuverville. In spite of the wealth of wild animals in Antarctica, the Oca pods, the young crab eaters, these chin-strap pens, which press down an icy plaice, are unique moments, so that it is sometimes worthwhile to cut a snack or skip the saunas to get a good look at them.

He made it easier for us by putting fowls and wildlife above the full steamship engine; one morning we were sitting for hour in the middle canal, encircled by dive sleeves with moggins. In Antarctica I did not do it because my mom said she would never talk to me again if I did, and since she seldom has a say in everything I do, I listened.

It was with a mix of jealousy and relieve that I saw my friend's swimming in 3 degrees of wind on the pebbled shore of Half Moon Island, taking turns stepping into 3 degrees of warm and cold waters, taking a few blows and going out again with brightly lit sightedness. Photographing can help you comprehend a place, recall it and exchange it with others, but using the cameras chronically will keep you from the real world.

The photo teacher on the boat even proposed to get to know Antarctica before he wanted to catch it. It is the start of the solstices of December, when there are only a few short hrs between the sundown and the rising sun on the promontory and the remainder is a well-lit, constantly shifting game. ANTARCIC lights are always exceptional, but twilight and twilight are the best times, so you may one of these days sound a very early warning or just make the most of your jetlag.

The time on land is usually never more than 90 min. at each dock. On the MS Midnatsol's boardwalk you can circumnavigate the boat like a skula and search for sea shells. Everyone is different, but when you live near a boat, you realize how different it is.

However, focusing or distracting oneself on what others are doing is a wastage of valuable resources and effort.
