Join Jon Bowermaster and his team as they explore the Antarctic Peninsula for five weeks. Departing from Puerto Williams, Chile, by sailboat on New Year’s Eve the team will stop at King George Island, pick up its cached sea kayaks and spend all of January exploring the Weddell Sea from sea level. The goal is to get as close to the Larsen Ice Shelf as possible, to document how the ice and sea that surrounds Antarctica’s most exposed corner is changing.
