Scientists have discovered a rare window in the Drake Passage, where carbon sinks quickly into the deep ocean. The Drake Passage is a turbulent region between Antarctica and South America, where cold and warm currents collide. The scientists used underwater robots to measure how undersea mountains and fast currents create eddies that transport carbon-rich phytoplankton to the depths.

👋🏼 ok I'm back!

GEG -> SEA -> DFW -> EZE (four nights) -> join #AdventuresbyDisney -> USH -> #Ponant L'Austral -> #DrakePassage -> #Antarctica -> #DrakeShake -> USH -> EZE (one night) -> MIA -> PHX -> LAS (two nights) -> #RnRLasVegas -> SEA -> GEG -> home late last night.

Nineteen days away. Three continents, eight airports, ten flights, four hotels plus a ship. Adventure of a lifetime.

Photos and some kind of trip report coming soon.

Today is one of those rare times in the year where there are almost no clouds through the #DrakePassage, fantastic and unusual view for those lucky those flying from #PuntaArenas to #Antarctica

Incredible!

My dream #cetacean has just surfaced in front of us in the #DrakePassage - the mythical Type D #Orca at 60o South! This pod of ~25 individuals came in to check the ship out, erupting out of the swell & then vanishing. Only described in 1955 & still an enigma! I am ECSTATIC!

Cue debate around just how strong those windows are… #DrakePassage #SouthernOcean #BigSwell
