Antarctic Sound, Antarctica (南極--南極峽灣)

**The article is part of 25 days trip in South America and Antarctica, including 21 days onboard cruiser Zaandam.

Antarctic Sound -- (63°20'S 56°45'W) (-63.333333, -56.750000)

The Antarctic Sound is the stretch of water about 50 km long and from 11 to 19 km wide, separating the Joinville Island group from Trinity Peninsula, the northeast tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Antarctic Sound was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskjold in 1902. Since 2005 cruisers have been visiting the area.

After sailing a whole night along Gerlache Strait, our ship turned right on Antarctic Sound in the early morning. We encountered huge icebergs and dense fog. It's unsafe to proceed her voyage. The cruiser turned back after 2 hours trip.

南極峽灣-- (63°20'S 56°45'W) (-63.333333, -56.750000)

南極峽灣(Antarctic Sound)是長50公里，寬11至19公里的海峽，在南極半島尖端附近，分離南極半島的Trinity半島和最東北端的Joinville島群(主要有四個大島)。南極峽灣在1902年由Otto Nordenskjold所率領的瑞典南極探險隊發現，自2005年後，開始有旅客遊輪進入此峽灣。我們的遊輪經過整夜航行於Gerlache海峽後，右轉入南極峽灣，船在峽灣航行兩個小時後，遇到巨大流冰及濃霧，為安全考量縮短行程回航。
