On December 15, three of our colleagues set sail on the PS152 from Walvis Bay, Namibia. The expedition will focus on Antarctica and the Weddell Sea and will end in February in Punta Arenas, Chile.
As always, we wish them lots of fun and success, but this time we also wish them happy holidays on board!
