South Shetland Islands, Antarctica (no field notes)

In this month’s snail mail voyage, Isabelle begins by hopping on a ship and taking a wild ride across the infamous Drake Passage between the tip of South America and the bottom of the world.
After a bit of a queasy journey, she finds herself in the picturesque South Shetland Islands where many exciting things await!

Follow along, and meet the likes of blue whales, chin strap penguins, and elephant seals… hike on top of glaciers, visit a research station, witness the “diamond dust” phenomenon, and more!

This is one of the most highly requested letters of all time, and I sure hope you love it as much as I do. ✨
