Getting to Antarctica is no easy feat. First there’s air travel to Ushuaia, Argentina, the world’s southernmost city. From here specially designed cruise ships take passengers across the Drake Passage – the world’s most turbulent waters – and finally you arrive in the surreal world of rock, ice and snow.

I traveled to Antarctica with One Ocean Expeditions on a small research vessel that takes on 125 passengers for a handful of excursions every summer from November to March.
