11 more sleeps... And no, the ship that your saw on the news sinking in Antarctica is not my ship! I will be sailing on the Aleksey Maryshev, a research vessel (not a luxury cruise liner). The Aleksey Maryshev can take up to 46 passengers & has a crew of 20. There are zodiacs that will take us ashore and we sail for 10 days out of Ushuia (the very southern most point of Argentina). OMG, in 2 weeks I'll be in Antarctica!!
