Here are some photos of packing day. Most of what we need for the cruise has to be packed into boxes and coolers, put on palettes, and drop-shipped to a cargo boat bound for Punta Arenas. We did this back in December, so as of this writing, it is (at least in theory) waiting for us down at the warehouse in Punta Arenas.



While we will have an assortment of equipment available to us that is already on board the ship, we need to come prepared for anything. There isn't a hardware store in Antarctica. Yet.


Dr. D checking it twice.


Onto the truck.. with luck they are sitting happily in Chile now!
