We’re Off To Ski Antarctica Today: We’re loading up on the 330-foot Sea Adventurer in Ushuaia, Argentina (the furthest south city on Earth) this afternoon. We’re heading to Antarctica.

Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina Conditions Report: Jagged Peaks and Frothing Ocean This is my first ever trip to the far south of South America. I’ve been blown away. I’ve been in Ushuaia, Argentina in Tierra del Fuego for a week now and the scenery is intense. The winds can be even more intense. We’ve witnessed the Beagle Channel as smooth as glass as well as frothing like rapid dog. This place is truly a land where the phrase – if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes – truly applies. We’ve been skiing all week here in the Martial Glacier zone just outside of town. The Martial Glacier has big rolly polly terrain, chutes, steeps, cliffs, jagged peaks, and […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | November 4, 2014 3 Comments
