The day has finally arrived. Today we are getting on board the MV Ushuaia to set off on the journey to Antarctica. We had a weather forecast last night and by all accounts the winds will be light and variable. That was a bit of a relief, as sea sickness has been the thing that I've been dreading the most. We will have 2 days on board the ship and will continue with the Leadership on the Edge program whilst we travel to the Antarctica.
There will be 73 people travelling to Antarctica as part of this expedition and when we arrive on King George Island, there will be a further 7 people to meet us. There is quite a mix of people here and it is interesting to see all the different personalities. My usual approach to situations like these is to sit back for a short time and observe how people interact with each other, and to see the different personalities come out. It makes very interesting watching!!
I spent a little time in Ushuaia this morning, just wandering around the shops and taking in the atmosphere of the city. It's quite an eclectic mix of shops, catering for tourists, travellers, mountaineers and locals. I imagine that the next time I see the city it will seem incredibly built up and populated after the desolation of Antarctica.
