Departing from Puerto Madryn on November 12, 2023, Homeward Bound’s second voyage to Antarctica is currently underway. The Island Sky, carrying over 100 extraordinary women, embarks on a mission to explore the icy wonders of the southernmost continent. While the first ship, The Ushuaia, has already reached Antarctica, the anticipation grows for the unfolding chapters of this remarkable expedition.
Join us as we trace the path of these intrepid women and the volunteer faculty – over 188 women from 25 countries – through the frozen expanse of Antarctica. Let’s celebrate their achievements and rally behind their mission to create a more sustainable world. Safe travels!
