Cape Horn and Antarctica


In January and February 1999 a polish sailing ship "Zawisza Czarny" made a voyage from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires visiting a polish antarctic station "Henryk Arctowski" in the King George Island and sailing around Cape Horn twice. The ship spent 3 days in the Admiralty Bay in the island. The last sailing ship was there 17 years ago. We were sailing for 12 days in the Drake Passage encountering an iceberg only once ( a cable from the ship) and spending only one day in a gale (a true luck).
