We covered over 2000 nautical miles, reaching 65 degrees south. The ship burned 3150 gallons of light crude oil, and the zodiacs used 211 gallons of E95 gas. The trip is carbon offset, but it&#8217;s still a good reminder that travel here is not neutral, and our impact on the world is not to be taken lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_3490-1280x960.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Expedition Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We did get a good view of the Cape Horn as we approached. One of our fellow travelers told a great story about his great-grandfather passing there on his way to California for the Gold Rush in the 1890s.
