Drinking Champagne on the Antarctic Ice Floe

The Weddell Sea was first discovered by British sailor James Weddell in 1823 and named after him. This sea area, including the Weddell Gyre, is part of the Southern Ocean. It is located on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula, with an area of ​​about 2.8 million square kilometers. It extends to the Antarctic Peninsula in the northwest and to Cape Norway on the Princess Martha Coast in the east. Much of the southern Weddell Sea is permanently covered by large ice shelves such as the Filchner-Rohne ice shelf. The Weddell Sea is located in the Antarctic Territory of Argentine Antarctica, British Antarctic Territory, and partly in the Chilean Antarctic Territory. The ice shelf covering the Weddell Sea, which covered an area of ​​about 10,000 square kilometres, completely disappeared in 2002. Although this is insignificant compared to the total area covered, it is enough to attract people's attention. On October 13, 1986, researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, based in Bremen, Germany, discovered a visible disk used to measure water clarity at a depth of 80 feet, and determined that the clarity of the water in the Weddell Sea is comparable to that of distilled water. The Weddell Sea is also the most worthwhile sea area to visit in the Antarctic itinerary. The French Ponant "Etoile" cruise ship specially arranged for all passengers to land on the ice floes in the Jonville Islands, and provided champagne on the ice floes as a surprise for everyone. #Antarctica #floating ice #champagne #Antarctic cruise #speedboat #beauty
