CAPE HORN-WEDNESDAY EVENING @ 8:30 PM

We passed Cape Horn at 8:30 PM and had spectacular weather and were able to stand outside and take photos. It marks the exact point at which two oceans join, but there is a third force at work. The water surrounding Antarctica, sometimes referred to as the Southern Ocean, has its own current. At this latitude, there is no land to block the ocean current as it swirls around the polar region. It was a beautiful sight, and I am glad that we had the opportunity to see this unique landmark.
