When we woke this morning we were finishing our journey through the Drake Passage where the seas were kind to us over the two-day sail back north.  After breakfast we made our way around Cape Horn, the southernmost place in South America, and we had one of our first sites of trees in a week.  The sailing only got smoother from there as we entered into the Beagle Channel.  The day was spent listening to lectures by our naturalists and participating in fun activities with the Young Explorers.   We continued to sail toward our final destination of Ushuaia on board the National Geographic Explorer and we reflected on the past weeks spent in amazing Antarctica as we enjoyed the Captain’s farewell cocktails.
