Our first day at Buenos Aires were not all joys. Only after we immersed ourselves into the tango music and dance after the night fell, we began to comprehend the magic of this city.

Bounded by the Chilean border at the Argentina side, Tierra del Fuego National Park is the southernmost national park in the world. Although the scenery is not as dramatic as Torres del Paine, the park offers nice view of lakes, mountains and the Beagle Channel.
Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, has only one main street. It is the gateway to explore the Antarctic Ocean and Tierra del Fuego.
An Antarctic experience without Drake is incomplete. It had been playing an enormously important role to make Antarctica the way it is today.
Deception Island has a narrow opening leading to the inner water. It has become a popular landing site because it's possible to have a warm bath on the beach near the volvanic area.
It's been heavily cloudy for 3 days since we came to Antarctica, but we were so lucky that the sun finally came out and we had a beautify blue sky day when we were sailing at the most beautify route of our voyage.
We saw a lot of Gentoo Penguins today, but the highlight was the evening climb to view the Neko Harbour from the top and listen to the sound of silence.
We had our first landing at Paulet Island and first landing on Antarctica continent at Brown Bluff. The theme of the day was Adélie penguins.
We landed at King George Island after 2 hours flight from Punta Arenas. We were taken to the ship by zodiacs. Our Antarctica cruise officially started.
