The UTM-Antarctic research group is currently heading to Antarctica by a research cruise vessel. They transited to Buenos Aires, Argentina before heading to Ushuaia, Argentina. From Ushuaia, they departed to Antarctica. It takes three days to travel from Ushuaia to King George Island, Antarctica. We are hoping that the researchers will have a safe and healthy journey and lots of interesting research results from their mission.
