Day 5 (continued) of my voyage to the #Antarctic Peninsula on the #tallship #BarkEuropa: second landing, at Whalers' Bay, Deception Island, South Shetland Islands. From the landing site we walked up a valley to a depression in the caldera rim from which Nathaniel B Palmer first sighted the mainland of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1820.#BusmansHoliday

Unless you're an experienced tall ship sailor and in a position to apply to become one of the permanent crew, you need to sign up as "voyage crew" and pay the substantial fee. It was the most I've ever paid for a trip lasting a few weeks, but so worth it.
Here is the sailing schedule
