Antarctica cruises always accompany some level of hardiness on behalf of the journeyer; however, travelers who choose to include the Antarctic Convergence in their plans will be privy to one of nature's wildest journeys.
The Antarctic Convergence is the parcel of ocean where the Antarctic's icy waters collide with those of the temperate oceans. The currents, both drastically different in temperature, are also traveling in opposite directions, and create huge waves at the convergence zone. Travelers will be able to feel the ocean current collisions more acutely than they can see them, however, as the ride through this area is a rocky one. Not a typical adrenaline-pumping activity, the Antarctic Convergence is not for the weak of heart.
Past visitors have explained that the journey can be rocky enough to warrant multiple Zodiacs being attached to the ship, just to steer it to shore.
This zone's colliding waters also produce a large swelling of nutrients, making the convergence one of great fertility capable of supporting many forms of marine plant life.
