Wednesday, December 17th – Friday, December 19th, 2025 World Tour Days: 411 – 413 Drake Passage & Beagel Channel (17th – 18th) Day 9: Lectures & Karaoke Night We were sad to be leaving Antarctica, but the ship kept us busy and distracted.

There were white sand beaches stretching along islands, mountains, and snowy areas. Once we arrived Nick and I walked with all of our belongings just over one hour to get to our apartment in town. We were staying about 45 minutes…
