I want to travel to the South Pole. I've seen many raiders. It is said that Drake Strait is seasick. Is there any way to travel to Antarctica without seasickness?

Thanks for inviting me. Give a brief background before answering this question. Look at this picture first: the Antarctic continent is surrounded by the southern ocean. The Antarctic Peninsula circled in the picture is our usual Antarctic travel destination. I believe it is also the Antarctic travel destination consulted by the landlord. (Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctic and other special routes are not mentioned for the time being. ) Most Antarctic cruise ships start from ushuaia, the southernmost Argentina, and reach the Antarctic Peninsula through the Drake Strait in the picture. Why do you get seasick? Drake Strait is about 900 kilometers long. The general sailing time is about 40 hours, depending on the ship. Basically, it takes about 4 days to go back and forth. The west wind is stationed here all the year round, which is a famous westerly belt. The wind is high and the waves are urgent. So DrakePassage has a nickname "Roaring Strait". What do you mean by big waves? Something like this. The inclination angle of the ship can sometimes reach 45 degrees. Vomiting bags can be seen everywhere on Antarctic cruise ships. The ship is very thoughtful. That's how the water cup is put. Pay attention to the inclination angle of launching. Generally, more than 80% of the guests will get seasick. Even people who don't usually get seasick are likely to get seasick here. Will it be better if you are well? Sorry, not necessarily. Here, seasickness has nothing to do with physical fitness In severe cases, it will be forcibly dragged to the infirmary for injection. Any beautiful scenery is not so easy to reach. So is Antarctica. Drake Strait is like the patron saint of Antarctic continent, protecting this primitive land. Want to get seasick? Fly there if you dare! Fly there if you dare! Fly there if you dare! ||| It really flew over! At present, there is only one route in the world to avoid seasickness. Depart from Punta Arena in southern Chile and fly to king george island. Cruise the Antarctic Peninsula in king george island on the icebreaker OceanNavo. Then return to king george island and fly back to Punta. This is the only way to avoid seasickness. But this is very rare. It's also more expensive than the route from ushuaia. Wechat platform Xzy-trip has this line. There should be no other way to play without seasickness. But by the way: although the Drake Strait is very stormy, this may be the charm of Antarctic travel. It is also an unforgettable experience to experience the stormy waves and then reach the seventh continent to witness the boundless tranquility at the end of the world. Of course, it depends on personal choice. If you don't want to get seasick, go to Chile Show all
