Santiago de Chile

The science group is slowly but surely trickling into Santiago de Chile to partake in the PRISM-RS cruise on board of the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer. The next leg of the trip is to get to Punta Arenas where we will be met by crew members from Raytheon Polar Services and finally head out to Antarctica on December 24th. Crossing the Drake Passage should be an exciting and challenging experience, but everyone in the group is looking forward to it. The weather down here is warm and humid (austral summer, remember?). More to come from Punta Arenas, stay tuned ....





hasta luego,
