Make it stand out Why would I start this with a menu? The very first thing I did in Buenos Aires was make my way to a dinner reservation I had made a few months prior. A reservation in which I had to tell the chef about myself and pass a vibe check before they would even approve it and give me the address of the restaurant. That's because the restaurant is actually the private home of the award winning chef. Was I there alone? Nope, I sat at the chef’s dining table along with 10 other strangers who also booked that evening. The chef worked the kitchen while his partner, an anthropologist and folklore dance instructor, hosted the event. Over the course of the next few hours all of us strangers at the table slowly became friends. Casa Saltshaker is one of a handful of underground hidden private restaurants in Buenos Aires, known locally as “las puertas cerradas” - the closed doors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/8cd5ff64-0ad2-4338-b823-ba3fbf3432ad/IMG_20181102_154702.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out First day, graffiti tour.

The white bonnets at the top of the building are very significant - they represent los desaparecidos, the disappeared. In the 70s and 80s, while the country was under dictatorship, military officials would steal and often execute the babies of alleged political dissidents. In 1977, the mothers of these lost children started meeting in the Plaza del Mayo demanding answers. The mothers continue to meet and march on the square to this day, every Thursday at 3:30pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/d5d904b7-d413-4ebf-9130-d681914ec614/IMG_20181116_175542.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out The graffiti tour ended in a bar owned by graffiti artists. I saw this stencil work and it haunted my mind for the following two weeks. When I returned to Buenos Aires on the tail end of the trip, I went straight to this bar and purchased the painting in a situation that was straight out of a movie and the story of getting this painting back home is equally wild. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/0596a43d-9967-4a9f-ba61-bf7c53ca16dc/IMG_20181102_125157+%281%29.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Just look at this dang tree! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/7011b314-079a-4ed0-b411-c0aeabefc3ff/IMG_20181102_113257.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Recoleta cemetery, a stunning graveyard filled with notable people including Eva Peron https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/128741c2-876b-45ed-9e79-2ec55f9a63f7/IMG_20181102_113710.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/8632bf41-1959-4fa0-9cd7-34b1231a5587/IMG_20181102_113808.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/3526d0fd-c506-47b3-8dbb-bb371ff0a103/IMG_20181102_115713.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/ffe848cf-ca85-4ce8-9a4b-d327783738b3/IMG_20181102_115204.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/d14987ab-ed0a-4864-92c2-d293141d116a/IMG_20181102_113621.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/861ea3cb-41f0-4bd7-8622-40858b2eb46f/IMG_20181102_114552.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/fa8671c4-2bbd-4593-bedd-b01b47bc7838/IMG_20181102_114947.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/3d86b1c7-4d6f-4c42-8f01-794f899f0cd8/IMG_20181102_115951.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/4cf578a0-620f-4bca-9ef9-a1f20744e5ef/IMG_20181102_123932.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out This young woman was had been at university in Switzerland and died in an avalanche https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/ecf3b5e1-6387-4d68-a7be-b928fb7c5a07/IMG_20181102_124005.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Her portrait above the stairs down to her tomb.

Built in 1976 and originally used as a NOAA research vessel, as well as a clandestine spy ship tasked with keeping an eye on Cuba, it was eventually converted for passenger use.

The Drake Passage is known for being a fairly horrendous stretch of ocean and the we were dipping in as a significant storm made its way past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/d1b002da-2a49-40ce-a822-8a962dbbf4a6/MVIMG_20181107_093123_1.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Storm. This was one of my two room mates. He and his wife (Americans) were traveling to every continent. She was in a different room, however. Our other roommate was a French guy who worked in high-speed rail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/58c1f0b0-66a7-4e0e-8559-90be7e00c10c/IMG_20181107_115409.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out While we are on the subject, lets take a trip down to the room. The seas were so rough, there were times where walking down the stairs was like walking across level ground. As the ship was also moving vertically, sometimes the floor would just come charging up at you. Because of this, there was a strict two hands on the rail safety policy. Injuries due to rough seas were a frequent occurrence. Someone on a cruise prior to us suffered an open fracture from being thrown down the stairs, and a woman on my boat had her finger tips cut off by a slamming door. It was for this reason that I was required to purchase a half-million dollar “emergency evacuation and expatriation insurance policy” as any injury that couldn't be treated by the onboard doctor would require that the passenger be removed from the ship - usually with assistance from the Argentine Navy - and then getting treatment before being returned to their home country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/b0bf378d-c0a8-4335-97b0-924d89b9a2ec/MVIMG_20181106_23411122222.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out The storm continued through the night https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/860e0c6a-350e-4a97-931a-3cb89efaa8ac/IMG_20181107_201836.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out In the room, facing two beds with a third behind me. Safety rails on the bed to keep you from getting thrown onto the floor in the night, though they recommended stuffing your clothes and bag under the mattress as well to keep yourself pinned against the wall. Not pictured is the en-suite bathroom, which had the unique requirement that no toilet paper was allowed to be flushed due to the frail plumbing system and the rough seas. Instead, all tp was to be put in the trash can… all of it. Not the typical accommodations you'd expect for a ticket that cost $5,500. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/c928ee8b-6ca0-4545-8951-4d2c2aa0fb36/IMG_20181107_054521_2.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out A crew member let me know that the previous night we had encountered gale force winds nearing 60mph and waves up to 15 meters / 50 feet, or about the height of the ship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/47ccd4aa-16b3-4765-8e00-8749d681bcab/IMG_20181107_052347_1-EDIT.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out There is an immense amount of energy moving around out here. The Southern Ocean has the strongest currents in the world as it is able to circulate freely around the bottom of the earth. With no land in its path, the water just pushes eastward, around and around. Where the tip of South America and the top of the Antarctic Peninsula reach toward one another, all this energy is funneled between the two - the Drake Passage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/ed820fd6-3180-4e03-911f-2e46a35a2225/IMG_20181107_141027.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Open bridge policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/4c9a1768-eb3d-470b-a973-a915c31ceb9b/MVIMG_20181108_083954.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out How do you know when you’ve moved from the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific into the actual Southern Ocean? Where do they meet? Well, theres actually a super interesting answer. Even though the edge of the Southern Ocean doesn’t really sit still, you’ll know you’ve made it when the temperature of the water suddenly drops by about 5 degrees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/37414dc3-fa34-489c-8257-96ac4673971b/IMG_20181108_134941.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out After two days of sailing, we approach the South Shetland Islands just off the Antarctic coast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/ebdf97eb-fe29-4abe-9799-9c095f8b8770/IMG_20181108_152359.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Disembarking on Half Moon Island.

The storm that was brewing was far more intense than the one we sailed through on the way down, as illustrated by the general chaos on the screen and totally new colors on the gradient. We were informed that the decision had been made to leave Antarctica a day and a half early, we would be sailing out that evening. On the forecast map, you’ll see a red dot and a yellow dot. The red dot is where we would be hit by the storm if we stayed the extra time, the yellow is how much closer to safety we would be if we left that day. The crew were visibly stressed, and it was the captain himself who came out and spoke to us - a first. After this briefing, I bought 10 minutes of time on their satellite internet connection - my first contact with the outside world in two weeks - and sent an email to my family letting them know how great of a time I’d had and that I loved them. Knowing how old and rickety the ship was, and how it had been thrashed about in the first storm - groaning and creaking and shuddering the entire time - I had a brief existential crisis at the newly recalculated odds of me making it home alive. It was a really significant moment and catalyzed some changes in how I’ve been living my life since. In 2022, at the same point in the season almost to the day, a ship returning across the Drake through a storm was hit by a rogue wave which crashed through a row of windows on one of the passenger decks, killing 1 and injuring 4 others. It was hit by two successive waves, the first was 40ft high, and the second was between 70-80ft high. It was a brand new vessel, the Viking Polaris, and it is the biggest ship that operates in the Antarctic. Ships are measured by their volume in Gross Tonnage, and the Viking Polaris is more than 30,000 Gross Tonnes - carrying 640 people. My ship, the MV Ushuaia, on the other hand, carries a small gathering of 128 people and is only 2,900 Gross Tonnes - oh and it’s a 40 something year old rust bucket. If we’d been hit by a 70 foot wave, I’d have been wishing I’d brought my floaties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/1edea5ca-245b-4cb9-8c64-040640311a48/IMG_20181110_202039.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Our approach to Deception Island, one final stop on the way out of Antarctica as the weather was clearly coming in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/63ddef2a-778f-4342-b282-0ea6b4b6f585/IMG_20181110_202531.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Deception Island is really the top of an active volcano, the rim of a caldera exposed above the water, with one small opening allowing us to make our way into the basin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/b5ebcd39-5596-43da-a5c6-c60731ec295c/IMG_20181110_202658.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out This opening, with steep cliffs on both sides, is called Neptunes Bellows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/adec0db8-2e15-4707-8b8a-ec50a23939d4/IMG_20181110_210305.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out In the flooded caldera are the ruins of an old Norwegian whaling station from the early 1900s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/7c1a3850-6b71-489d-a18a-584ef4166a3c/IMG_20181110_212756.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/ccc4ee61-61ce-40bb-b2c6-0b4a32ceb75a/IMG_20181110_212001.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/dbd7cfc5-41fa-42da-be4f-817fb1ca7863/IMG_20181110_213219.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Does this mean I’m inside or outside? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/296fcb2c-e762-48bf-b5f6-679e3c9c9abb/IMG_20181110_212528.jpg Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out 35 people are buried here, and there’s a memorial to another 10 who were lost at sea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a8937fe4b02b2894331690/09fda2fd-2927-4064-acce-01e9cc59f3cd/Screenshot_20231011-032210%281%29.png Antartida for a Gina - Make it stand out Screenshot from actual footage of me running out of the freezing waters of the southern ocean in the middle of this volcano caldera in nothing but my boxer briefs.
