The Ocean Nova,
like most Antarctica cruise ships, departs from Ushuaia Argentina.
So the first part of your trip is flying wayyy South! ;-)
Departing Denver International Airport - 7,658 miles to go!
Denver and the Rocky Mountains to the West shortly after takeoff
Atlanta Airport 4 hours later
Engine Cowling reflection shows Delta Jet crossing over the last freeway before the airport
JUST before touchdown at Atlanta
After a 4 hour layover, it's a 10 hour flight from Atlanta to Buenos Aeries
Alek before and after his nap!
Sunrise in Argentina - mouseover image to see picture taken 13 minutes later
Landing at Buenos Aeries International Airport - EZE
I run into Lindsay (who came down a day earlier) at the end of the security line
Lindsay got to the front of the line at the gate - mouseover image for a close-up image
It's been a while since I walked up stairs to an airplane
Aerolineas "steam-powered" 737 with Analog cockpit
Yours truly had a nice aisle seat for the 3+ hour flight down to Ushuaia
Some beautiful scenery as the airplane approaches Ushuaia
Another break in the clouds shows one of many high mountain lakes
A few minutes before landing in Ushuaia, Argentina
So after traveling almost 30 hours, the next experience was an enjoyable 24 hours in the port city of Ushuaia, Argentina.
