It only seemed like minutes before our heads were on the pillows in our hotel room, and then we were up again. Like excited children on Christmas morning, we quickly got ready and gathered for our early morning flights to Ushuaia. Our flight descended over the Beagle Channel and the city at the end of the world—but for us, it is the beginning of everything. Our ship was waiting patiently for us at the pier, tugging at its lines, itching to surge southward again. Sailing down the Beagle Channel, we were greeted by sei whales, dolphins, and Magellanic penguins - a truly good omen for the voyage ahead.
