The Europa sails the Penola Strait, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica
We feel chilly just looking at this image of the Europa sailing Penola Strait, near the Antarctic Peninsula. This three-masted barque may resemble polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated ship Endurance, which was lost to the ice in an expedition to the South Pole in 1915. But the Europa is a modern refitted light ship that now sails the world with paying passengers and makes annual trips to Antarctica – and today would be a special day to visit the icy continent at the bottom of the world.
