Drake Passage

Although I was forced to quarantine at home for 14 days after returning to Beijing, I still have a taste of the Antarctic. I watched the video of crossing the Drake Strait online before I went. When the thrilling and thrilling turn arrived, the Strait was calm like a lake. Many boat friends regretted that they said that they went back to Antarctica. Whether it is good or not depends on two points: one is luck (weather) and the other is the boat. Yes, luck ＋ The weather is greater than the choice of the ship. The cost of going to Antarctica in recent years has fallen below 10W and there are smaller companies that can drop to 6W in order to attract attention. Different types of boats have different boat periods. It can be half the difference, so don't ask in general. How much money to go to Antarctica is selected according to demand and ability. If the time is more abundant and you have Spanish skills, you can try to fly to Ushuaia and wait for the boat ticket to be paid. The cost of the ticket can be cheaper than 20%. The US broadcast must be said to be that many shops in the imperial crab town in Figure 9 sell. Monarch crabs, but most of the source of the purchase is the "old captain" home, so go directly to the old captain's house to eat is the most affordable average price of 200 can you believe? After eating the first bite, I will call the waiter directly! Please add another one! ! ! It can be seen how delicious! Promise me if you come to Ushuaia, you must eat

Today we talk about two traditional ways to open the Antarctic travel box: from all countries around the world to Ushuaia, Argentina; from Birdshuaia, take a nuclear-powered science test ship, cross the Drake Strait, reach the South Pole, and start the Antarctic journey, the whole journey is about 20 days. Advantages: Time is guaranteed, basically according to the established itinerary. × Disadvantages: long time; to cross the Drake Strait, known as the Devil Strait, you must experience bumps and seasickness. "Improved way: from all countries around the world to reach Punta Arenas, Chile; from Punta Arenas, Chile, by plane to the Antarctic, the whole journey is8-10 days. Advantages: Fly over Cape Horn and Drake Strait, quickly reach the Antarctic, saving time on board; Avoid seasickness (most importantly, because professional crews can't stand the bumps here) Disadvantages: Aircraft takeoffs and landings are heavily influenced by climate and may not take off on time due to weather. Roanoke 21st Century Adventures Roanoke offers a direct flight over the raging Drake Strait. In just two hours, you can fly from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the South Pole, avoiding the seasickness spell of the Drake Devil Channel. The highlights of the Magellan Exploration: a large luxury cruise ship with wider passenger space and guaranteed a one-time landing of the expedition team and crew. High ratio of passenger ratio of nearly 1:1

A strait is a narrow water passage between two waters. It is usually formed by long-term erosion of seawater through cracks in the isthmus or by submerging the submerged land depression. Today, we will introduce the widest and deepest straits. One of the most dangerous straits - the Drake Strait, and the widest straits: the Drake Strait (Drake Passage) is located between the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands, which is the boundary between South America and Antarctica. The length of 300 km, the width of 900 to 950 km, is the world's widest strait, its width is 970 km, the narrowest is also 890 km. 99 deepest strait: Drake strait is also the world's deepest strait. The average water depth is 3,400 meters, the deepest 5,248 meters. There is more than any two mountains in the Wuyue. Brain natural environment: x because it is close to the South Pole and located on the westerly belt, the temperature here is very low. The surface water temperature in summer is 3,0-5.5 °C, and in winter it is 0.5-3.0 °C. The minimum temperature in July is minus 20 degrees Celsius, Floating icebergs are possible in any season.

From Punta Arenas in Chile, boarded the boat the next day, entered the Drake Strait, the wind and waves were getting bigger and bigger, shaking people extremely uncomfortable, ten of nine were seasick, it is said that our luck is still the best, here is 10 meters high waves all year round, because there is a westerly belt, There is a sea current around the Antarctic continent, the intersection of the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean... But the return journey was miserable, and finally felt a qualified pirate ship! After almost a day of sailing, entering the south latitude of 60 degrees, even if it is officially entering the Antarctic Circle, the sky finally cleared.

Located between the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands, the Drake Strait is 300 kilometers long and is the widest Strait in the world, with a width of 970 kilometers. To go to Antarctica, the most daunting thing is to cross the westerly belt of the Drake Strait, to get people, not to get people, or to get people ready to go. The westerly belt has become a hot topic for people to talk about in Antarctica. They dare not go to Antarctica to see if they can break through the physical and psychological barrier. So do we. In order to survive the westerly belt, at the doctor's request, everyone took a seasickness pill after dinner. My seasickness person dared not build this time, and took seasickness pills on time according to the doctor's instructions. 80% of the westerly wind zone will encounter typhoons, and we are no exception. When the strong wind blows, the boat rocks very badly. Sometimes it goes down, sometimes it goes left, sometimes it goes right. The sound of the waves is really frightening. My bed is in horizontal position. When rocking left and right, I often have the feeling of big head down. When rocking up and down, I roll left and right again. In a word, it is not too much to use "coal-shaking ball" to describe it. It is said that at that time, the wind reached 12 grades, and the wind speed was 30 kilometers per second. A large ship with more than 6,000 tons swayed about 14 degrees. If it were a small ship, it would be miserable. It's the first time in my life that I've experienced such a big storm. At seven o'clock in the morning, I was woken up on time by the ship's radio. At first sight, the things on the desktop rolled down all over the floor, but fortunately they didn't hit anybody. When we staggered to the restaurant, we saw that more than half of the group were missing. The people who ate were like astronauts with no center of gravity. From time to time, we heard the sound of cups and plates falling on the ground. Everyone looked at each other and laughed. It was no fun. Yuan said that the hero who could eat in the restaurant today was the hero. Ah, I became a hero today.
