Posts From Ushuaia

Looking back on our previous post I am more than a little surprised by the low key tone of my description of our collision. Maybe it was the fact that it was a reef and not an Iceberg that kept our reactions muted, who knows. But in any case as time passed Nina began to focus on the question of "How could this brand new, purpose-built, ice-class, polar expedition ship hit a submerged rock?" We never did get an answer to that question, but we did arrive back in port a day earlier than planned and got an unexpected bus tour of what the locals call the National Park.
