These Chelsea’s best players couldn’t win the Champions League title when they were at their best, but got it when their careers were about to end. It’s the best reward to their diligence and determinations. It’s the magic of the game.
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.
Torres del Paine is often considered to have the best hiking trails in the world. Unfortunately, because of the stormy weather, we didn’t make any meaningful attempt. After all, visiting TDP was only an overture of a grander journey.

This was the most eventful day of all our travel trips, but there is nothing more rewording than watching the unbeatable sunset view surrounded by the signature landscape of Torres del Paine National Park.

Punta Arenas is the southernmost city of Chile. Sitting by the Strait of Magellan, it had been a booming town before Panama Canal was constructed. Today’s Punta Arenas is a quiet city and a tourist hub of Chilean Patagonia region.
In hindsight, we feel that we were so over prepared because we had some very mild weather in Antarctica. However, volatility is the nature of the Antarctic weather. You should prepare for the worst.
When to visit, what to see, how to choose the ship and how much to pay are some important considerations when planning an Antarctica cruise trip.
We were fortunate to have a chance to make this once in a lifetime journey to Antarctica at the turn of the year. I wish to be able to share the excitements and inspirations in the following posts.
