Ebola is a frightening and deadly disease, killing on average one half of people infected and spreading rapidly without containment measures. So how do BBC journalists report from the centre of an epidemic? BBC West Africa journalist Emery Makumeno has been reporting from Kinshasa in DR Congo on the Ebola outbreak; Musa Sangarie, Country Director for Sierra Leone for BBC Media Action, led public information campaigns in Sierra Leone in the 2014-16 Ebola epidemic; Camilla Mota, journalist with BBC News Brasil, has reported on the fall-out from the country's Zika virus outbreak in 2015 and 2016; and Mattias Zibell Garcia, producer at BBC Mundo, reported on the recent Hantavirus outbreak in Ushuaia, Argentina. The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts. Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India. If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more.Presented by Faranak Amidi.

Workers in Ushuaia warn that Argentina's federal takeover of the port could jeopardize the 2026-27 Antarctic cruise season, with more than 140 locked-out staff and threats of indefinite protests that could push operators toward Punta Arenas, Chile. Victoria, BC — Canada's busiest cruise port — welcomes three first-time callers in two days: Princess's Star Princess, Virgin's Brilliant Lady, and Silversea's Silver Nova. And Dover marks its first-ever four-ship day as the UK port heads for a fifth straight year of growth toward roughly 200,000 passengers in 2026.

▶ Monte le Son, le podcast # 117 Attention, épisode exceptionnel : vous allez découvrir la vie folle de Christophe Samé, l'invité de Salman et et Daz, et vous plonger dans l'univers des free parties. Dans les années 90, alors qu'il est adolescent, Christophe découvre la techno, les raves et devient DJ/producteur. Il finit par rejoindre le collectif et sound system "Heretik System", devient connu sous le nom Rokette77, et forme une bande soudée avec ses acolytes Popof, Noisebuilder, KRS, Nout, Léo, ou encore Beuns. Cette joyeuse bande organise de nombreuses free parties, et le collectif devient culte au fil des fêtes d'anthologie organisées au nez et à la barbe des autorités (la gare de fret de Bercy, la piscine Molitor, l'Olympia...). Christophe va devenir un expert de la fête, avant de s'exiler au Liban, où il participera à l'organisation de la première rave party du pays. Sa nouvelle vie libanaise l'amènera à produire du mobilier, puis à se professionnaliser dans la production de décors pour de nombreuses marques (Christian Dior, Netflix, etc.) et fêtes. Aujourd'hui, à la tête de la société IN/OFF, Christophe travaille pour les plus gros clubs du monde : le Hi, le Ushuaïa, et même le récent UNVRS dont il a fait tout le design. Vous l'aurez compris, des free parties sauvages aux décors de David Guetta, le parcours de Christophe Samé est fascinant !

A sleeping bag on the ice as “bed number 75” might be the most unexpected invitation we've ever heard, but it kicks off a real conversation about what it's like to travel to Antarctica and how to plan it well. We talk with an experienced traveler who's been three times, including a trip to the Antarctic Peninsula with her dad and a rare, explorer-style route to the Ross Sea that only a tiny number of tourists ever see.We get practical about Antarctica expedition cruise logistics: where ships depart (hello, Ushuaia), why the Drake Passage earns the nickname “Drake Shake,” and what actually helps if you're prone to seasickness. We also dig into the choices that change your trip the most, like ship size, how zodiac landings work, and why smaller vessels can mean more time on shore. Along the way, we explore research bases, the surprising “international village” feel of Antarctica, and why the continent feels like the closest thing to leaving Earth.Wildlife is the heartbeat of the planning. We compare seasons for nesting penguins, fluffy chicks, and whale sightings, plus detours that can be even wilder than Antarctica itself, like South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, and remote sub-Antarctic islands. We also cover conservation and biosecurity rules, including decontamination protocols and newer restrictions designed to protect fragile colonies.If you're searching “best time to visit Antarctica,” “Antarctica cruise tips,” or “Ross Sea expedition,” this one will help you decide what's worth the cost and the long sea days.

VOV1 - Nhằm xác minh nghi vấn về nguồn gốc ổ dịch Hantavirus chết người trên một tàu du lịch quốc tế, các chuyên gia dịch tễ học đã bắt giữ khoảng 70 cá thể chuột đuôi dài tại vùng Tierra del Fuego thuộc Argentina để xét nghiệm khẩn cấpMột phái đoàn khoa học đặc biệt bao gồm các nhà sinh học đến từ Buenos Aires và Viện Dịch tễ học Malbrán danh tiếng đã chính thức triển khai chiến dịch đặt bẫy quy mô lớn tại thành phố Ushuaia, thuộc quần đảo Đất Lửa (Tierra del Fuego) ở cực nam Argentina. Tính đến ngày 19/5, cơ quan y tế địa phương xác nhận đợt bẫy đêm đầu tiên đã diễn ra rất thuận lợi, giúp các nhà khoa học thu thập được khoảng 70 mẫu chuột phục vụ cho công tác phân tích.Mục tiêu hàng đầu trong tầm ngắm của các nhà khoa học là loài chuột hoang dã có tên địa phương là "colilargo" hay còn gọi là chuột đuôi dài (tên khoa học: Oligoryzomys longicaudatus) cùng phân loài của nó tại vùng Magellan. Đây là loài sinh vật hoạt động về đêm và là vật chủ trung gian truyền nhiễm chính của chủng virus "Andes", một biến thể cực kỳ nguy hiểm thuộc họ Hantavirus với đặc tính đáng sợ là có khả năng lây truyền trực tiếp từ người sang người.Chiến dịch y tế khẩn cấp này được kích hoạt sau khi một ổ dịch Hantavirus bùng phát vào đầu tháng 5/2026 trên tàu du lịch hạng sang MV Hondius, khiến 3 hành khách tử vong và làm dấy lên hồi chuông cảnh báo y tế toàn cầu. Các cuộc điều tra dịch tễ xác định "bệnh nhân số 0" là một du khách người Hà Lan. Người này đã lưu trú tại thành phố du lịch Ushuaia trong vòng 48 giờ trước khi lên tàu vào ngày 1/4.Mặc dù cuộc truy vết dẫn phái đoàn khoa học tới Ushuaia, chính quyền tỉnh Tierra del Fuego và ngành du lịch địa phương đang phản ứng vô cùng gay gắt trước giả thuyết nơi này là nguồn cơn dịch bệnh. Ông Juan Petrina, người đứng đầu cơ quan dịch tễ học của tỉnh, nhấn mạnh rằng trong suốt 30 năm qua, kể từ khi hệ thống báo cáo bệnh truyền nhiễm bắt buộc được thiết lập, Tierra del Fuego chưa từng ghi nhận bất kỳ một ca nhiễm Hantavirus nào trong tự nhiên. Đại diện ngành du lịch địa phương thậm chí còn gọi giả thuyết ổ dịch xuất phát từ thành phố này là "tin giả đến từ nước ngoài", gây tổn hại nghiêm trọng đến hình ảnh của thị trấn du lịch yên bình vốn được mệnh danh là "Nơi tận cùng thế giới".Chính quyền địa phương cho rằng "bệnh nhân số 0" nhiều khả năng đã nhiễm bệnh từ các tỉnh miền núi Andes nằm cách đó 1.500 km về phía bắc (như Río Negro hay Chubut), nơi virus Andes lưu hành tự nhiên. Trước khi lên tàu du lịch, cặp đôi du khách Hà Lan này đã có hành trình lữ hành kéo dài tới 4 tháng xuyên qua nhiều vùng của Argentina, Chili và Uruguay. Do thời gian ủ bệnh của Hantavirus có thể kéo dài từ 1 đến 6 tuần, khả năng họ nhiễm bệnh từ trước khi đặt chân đến Ushuaia là rất cao. Thực tế, đã hơn 45 ngày trôi qua kể từ khi con tàu khởi hành, tại Ushuaia vẫn không xuất hiện thêm bất kỳ ca nhiễm mới nào trong cộng đồng.Các mẫu máu và mô của 70 con chuột đuôi dài vừa bắt được đang được chuyển khẩn cấp về các phòng thí nghiệm sinh học được trang bị các tiêu chuẩn an toàn sinh học nghiêm ngặt nhất tại nhiều quốc gia trên thế giới để phân tích cấu trúc gen. Kết quả xét nghiệm dự kiến sẽ được công bố trong vòng 4 tuần tới. Nếu các mẫu thử đều cho kết quả âm tính, nghi vấn đối với thành phố Ushuaia sẽ chính thức được xóa bỏ. Tuy nhiên, điều này cũng đồng nghĩa với việc các nhà khoa học sẽ phải tiếp tục hành trình giải mã câu đố: Bệnh nhân số 0 thực sự đã nhiễm virus Andes từ đâu?Anh Tuấn/VOV-ParisCác mẫu máu và mô của 70 con chuột đuôi dài vừa bắt được đang được chuyển khẩn cấp về các phòng thí nghiệm sinh học được trang bị các tiêu chuẩn an toàn sinh học nghiêm ngặt nhất tại nhiều quốc gia trên thế giới để phân tích cấu trúc gen - Ảnh: Reuters
Daniel Connell, aka "Dirty Dan" is fresh off setting a new FKT on the Pacific Coast route from Alaska to the Mexican border. Dan ripped down the coast on his new, yet-to-be-released Trek Domane, setting a new time to beat: 6 days, 15 hours, 53 minutes. What some people may not know is that Dan is also preparing for a Guinness Book of World Records attempt on the Pan-American Route from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina this July. He initially approached the Pacific Coast ride as part of his training for Pan-Am, but it became much more than a tune-up. For Dan, this was a stand-alone achievement and a deeply personal accomplishment. It also gave him the perfect opportunity to test the bike, setup, systems, and mindset he plans to carry into July. By the numbers, and by his own account, it was a clean run — the kind of ride that should send him into the next big challenge with a whole lot of confidence. One thing that really stands out, besides the overall time, is his daily mileage: Day 1 — 280 mi / 11,738 ft / 16h 55m Day 2 — 212 mi / 10,019 ft / 14h 27m Day 3 — 240 mi / 12,423 ft / 16h 57m Day 4 — 198 mi / 13,174 ft / 14h 6m Day 5 — 238 mi / 15,679 ft / 17h 17m Day 6 — 492 mi / 20,471 ft / 32h 24m That's remarkably consistent… until the final push, where he absolutely emptied the tank. In today's episode, we talk about that monster final effort, how the ride unfolded, what he learned from the bike and setup, and what comes next as Dirty Dan looks ahead to his Pan-American World Record attempt.

Shoot us a text and let us know—because great conversations never end at the last word!This week on TezTalks Radio, we're joined by Yann Régis-Gianas to unpack Ushuaia, a new Tezos protocol proposal that sits directly in the path toward Tezos X. From the outside, Tezos X promises something simple: a more unified Tezos experience where EVM and Michelson applications can interact more directly without the awkward fragmentation users are used to across chains, rollups, wallets, and app environments.Ushuaia is part of the infrastructure underneath that promise.This episode focuses on what Ushuaia actually unlocks, what becomes harder without it, and how the clean roadmap for Tezos X meets the reality of engineering constraints.
On the 1st of April, a cruise ship departed from the port of Ushuaia, in the far South of Argentina, carrying 175 passengers and crewmembers. Within a week, the first symptoms of the hantavirus infection began to show. A 70 year old Dutch man died onboard, becoming the first fatality of this outbreak, and his wife died not long after. With the death of a German woman in early May, the death toll now stands at three. The surviving passengers, who come from 23 different nationalities, have finally disembarked the ship in the Netherlands, and most have gone back to their home countries where they will go now through a period of quarantine To discuss the specifics of the hantavirus outbreak, producer Toby spoke to infectious disease expert and public science communicator Siouxsie Wiles.

Crisis internacional es el segmento de geopolítica de Crisis en el Aire. Biole Weber analiza el posible brote de hanta virus registrado en el crucero MV Hondius, que había partido desde Ushuaia.Edición: Ale DemasiIlustración: Ezequiel García *Este episodio es parte del programa Crisis en el Aire y se grabó en vivo el 24 de abril en FM La Tribu.

Cuentahabientes, seguro ya vieron en las noticias que se dio un brote de hantavirus, en el crucero polar MV Hondius que iba de Ushuaia, Argentina, a Canarias, por eso recibimos a doctor Francisco Moreno Sánchez, internista e Infectólogo del Centro Médico ABC para hablar sobre este tema.
C dans l'air l'invitée du 6 mai avec Pr. Anne-Claude Crémieux, infectiologue et présidente de la commission technique des vaccinations à la Haute autorité de Santé (HAS).La croisière depuis Ushuaia a tourné au drame pour les passagers d'un navire, touché par des cas d'hantavirus. La prise en charge des personnes à bord du « MV Hondius » nécessitant des soins a débuté mercredi, a déclaré l'Organisation mondiale de la santé. Le bateau doit ensuite mettre le cap vers les Canaries, en Espagne, pour faire débarquer le reste des passagers et de l'équipage. Le bilan est actuellement de trois morts. À la mi-journée, un nouveau cas a été identifié en Suisse chez un homme ayant voyagé à bord du navire.Au total, 88 passagers et 59 membres d'équipage se trouvent à bord du navire. Parmi eux figurent cinq touristes français, a précisé lundi le ministère de la Santé français. L'OMS s'attelle désormais à déterminer l'enchaînement des événements qui ont notamment conduit à la mort de trois passagers, un couple de Néerlandais et une Allemande, partis début avril depuis le sud de l'Argentine. La directrice du département de prévention et préparation aux épidémies et pandémies de l'OMS juge qu'il y a eu « une transmission interhumaine ». Selon l'Organisation, pour le moment, l'épisode présente un risque « faible » pour le reste du monde. « Il ne s'agit pas d'un virus qui se propage comme la grippe ou le Covid-19 », souligne Maria Van Kerkhove.
El barco de crucero Hondius, operado por la compañía holandesa Oceanwide Expeditions, se encuentra en el centro de una crisis sanitaria internacional tras un brote de hantavirus que ya ha dejado tres muertos y varios enfermos a bordo. El barco, un buque pequeño de 107 metros de eslora con casco reforzado para navegar con hielo, zarpó de Ushuaia el 1 de abril con 88 pasajeros de 23 nacionalidades y 59 tripulantes a bordo. El crucero, dirigido a occidentales acomodados, incluía varias escalas en el Atlántico sur y el avistamiento de pingüinos en las islas Georgias. Los primeros síntomas, que confundieron con una simple gripe, aparecieron unos días más tarde. Cuando se agravaron los problemas respiratorios del primer paciente, el médico de a bordo envió una radiografía a Holanda y detalló los síntomas. El barco tomó rumbo norte y se realizaron evacuaciones en las islas de Santa Elena y Ascensión, donde se confirmó el diagnóstico. Han muerto una pareja de jubilados holandeses y un médico alemán que viajaba solo. Siguieron hacia el norte hasta recalar en Cabo Verde, cuyo gobierno ha denegado el atraque al barco por el riesgo sanitario que implica. El Hondius navega ahora rumbo a Canarias, donde la OMS ha negociado con España su llegada en unos dos o tres días. El hantavirus debe su nombre al río Hantan, en Corea, donde se identificó por primera vez en los años 50. Las variantes europeas y asiáticas producen problemas renales de baja letalidad, pero las americanas provocan un síndrome cardiopulmonar fulminante con una mortalidad que oscila entre 30-50%. La sospecha recae sobre la variante Andes, descubierta en la Patagonia en 1995, cuyo reservorio es el ratón colilargo. Pero lo más preocupante es que esta del Hondius es la única con transmisión documentada entre humanos. De confirmarse, sería el primer brote sostenido fuera del Cono Sur americano. A bordo, los pasajeros viven encerrados en sus camarotes, comiendo de bandejas que la tripulación deja en su puerta y temiendo que cualquier dolor de cabeza sea una sentencia de muerte. La tripulación trabaja con mascarillas y equipo de protección. El médico también se ha contagiado. En Canarias se está preparando un gran dispositivo para recibir al buque en Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Se efectuará un triaje a bordo, se evacuará a los infectados a hospitales de la isla o a sus países de origen y los que no lo estén tendrán que ponerse en cuarentena. El operativo recuerda al desplegado durante la crisis del ébola en 2014, pero es mucho más complejo. La epidemia del Hondius llega en un momento en el que el turismo polar se encuentra en pleno auge. Crece a más del 10% desde hace años. Solo la Antártida recibió más de 100.000 visitantes en la temporada 2024-2025 cuando hace unos años eran unos 15.000. Los protocolos sanitarios a bordo estaban pensados para virus respiratorios convencionales, no para zoonosis exóticas como esta del hantavirus. Esto tendrá consecuencias regulatorias para este tipo de cruceros que se traducirán protocolos de embarque más estrictos. También se dispararán las primas de seguro. Si el caso del Diamond Princess al principio de la pandemia supuso el fin de la despreocupación sanitaria en los grandes cruceros, el Hondius es el punto de inflexión para los cruceros boutique a destinos exclusivos como la Antártida. La época de los cruceros polares vendidos como aventuras sin riesgos es muy posible que termine esta misma semana frente a la costa de Canarias.

A Organização Mundial da Saúde informou que há dois casos confirmados de hantavírus e cinco casos suspeitos ligados ao surto que matou três pessoas em um navio holandês ancorado ao largo da ilha de Santiago, em Cabo Verde. Entre os casos confirmados de hantavírus está uma das vítimas mortais e uma pessoa gravemente doente internada na Africa do Sul. Três outras pessoas a bordo apresentam sintomas respiratórios e febre. Neste programa, convidámos o infecciologista Jaime Nina para nos explicar o que se sabe deste surto. O navio de cruzeiro MV Hondius fazia a rota entre Ushuaia, na Argentina, e as ilhas Canárias, e fez paragens no Atlântico Sul para turismo de observação da vida selvagem. A embarcação não foi autorizada a desembarcar no Porto da Praia, em Cabo Verde, estando desde domingo, ao largo da ilha de Santiago, com 147 pessoas a bordo. Em comunicado, a Organização Mundial da Saúde informou, em comunicado, que há dois casos confirmados de hantavírus e cinco casos suspeitos. Entre os casos confirmados está uma das vítimas mortais e uma pessoa gravemente doente internada na Africa do Sul. Três outras pessoas a bordo apresentam sintomas respiratórios e febre. A OMS escreve que é “pouco comum” mas, no passado, já houve relatos de transmissão entre humanos. “A infecção humana por hantavírus é adquirida principalmente pelo contacto com urina, fezes ou saliva de roedores infectados. É uma doença rara, porém grave, que pode ser fatal. Embora pouco comum, a transmissão entre humanos foi relatada em surtos anteriores do vírus Andes (uma espécie específica de hantavírus). A OMS avalia actualmente o risco para a população global decorrente deste evento como baixo e continuará monitorando a situação epidemiológica e actualizando a avaliação de risco”, pode ler-se no comunicado da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Jaime Nina, infecciologista do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, explicou à RFI que a transmissão entre humanos “é extremamente rara”. “Quase nunca é transmitido de pessoa a pessoa. É extremamente rara a transmissão pessoa a pessoa. O reservatório são roedores, na maioria dos casos roedores selvagens, esporadicamente podem ser ratos domésticos, ratazana cinzenta ou ratazana dos esgotos. Neste caso, em que estiveram a fazer exploração ecológica, chamemos-lhe assim, em zonas selvagens do sul da Argentina, quase de certeza que o reservatório foi um roedor selvagem. Um ratinho do campo qualquer”, explica. Nesse sentido, o contágio pode ter acontecido “por contacto directo” ou por inalação, por exemplo, do aerossol de urina de ratos. Outra possibilidade poderia ser a presença de ratos a bordo. O infecciologista considera que “o surto pode estar a acabar” visto que o último caso diagnosticado foi a 28 de Abril, que o tempo de incubação é de, no mínimo, uma semana e que o barco já está numa “região quente onde o vírus tem muita dificuldade em se manter”. Ou seja, “o surto está a morrer por si próprio”, resume. Nesta entrevista também falámos sobre sintomas, tratamento e vacinação de hantavírus.
Notícias do dia: Donald Trump afirma que os EUA vão começar a escoltar navios através do Estreito de Ormuz. Três pessoas morreram num surto de síndrome respiratória aguda a bordo de um navio de cruzeiro que fazia a ligação entre Ushuaia e Cabo Verde. Ativistas dizem que a resposta do governo australiano aos cidadãos australianos a bordo da Flotilha Global Sumud é inaceitável. Um tribunal de Israel prolongou por mais 48 horas a detenção de dois ativistas de uma flotilha de ajuda a Gaza.

Episode 165 Atlas Ocean Voyages Review: Is the World Voyager Worth It for Antarctica? We just returned from one of the most bucket-list trips on the planet, an Antarctica expedition cruise aboard Atlas Ocean Voyages World Voyager, and we're breaking down everything: the ship, the staterooms, the food, the service, the expedition experience, and whether the $10,000–$15,000 price tag is actually worth it. This wasn't just a cruise review. This was one of our hosted group trips through Sunshine Travelers Experiences, so we lived this voyage alongside a group that had been planning it for years. We were intentional about every choice, ship size, itinerary, and overall value, and Atlas Ocean Voyages delivered across all three. If you're researching Antarctica expedition cruises, trying to decide between small ships vs. large ships, or wondering whether Atlas Ocean Voyages is the right fit for you, this episode is the deep dive you've been looking for. What We Cover in This Episode Why Ship Size Is Everything for AntarcticaWith Antarctica's strict rule that only 100 passengers can be on land at any one time, choosing a ship under 200 passengers changes the entire experience. On the World Voyager (153 passengers on our voyage), everyone gets to land on each expedition. Larger ships in the 200–499 passenger range technically qualify for Antarctica, but the rushed logistics mean you spend more time waiting than exploring. The Boarding ExperienceFrom the moment we arrived in Ushuaia, the experience felt like boarding a private yacht. Luggage was whisked directly to the ship, champagne and canapés were waiting in the lounge, and we were escorted to our stateroom with no long lines, no chaos. Stateroom Breakdown: Horizon Stateroom vs. BalconyWe booked the Horizon Stateroom, which features a floor-to-ceiling window that lowers halfway, giving you open-air views from the comfort of your cabin. In Antarctica's cold, this turned out to be the perfect choice over a balcony. The rooms also come with:- Oversized rain-head shower with body jets and a bench (no tiny cruise ship shower here)- Premium L'Occitane*bath amenities- Ultra-soft bedding, plush pillows, robes and slippers- Mini fridge stocked with your preferred beverages at no extra charge- Chaise lounge sofa, desk, and satellite TV with a curated film library *Note: Starting April 1, 2026, the Horizon Stateroom is being reclassified as a Junior Suite and will include Butler service. Daily Life & Expedition StructureEvery day was structured around two expeditions, typically one Zodiac tour and one shore landing. Passengers were divided into two rotating groups (ours was the "Weddell Seals"), so no single group always had priority. Plans changed constantly based on weather and ice conditions, and flexibility is key, but the expedition team handled every pivot seamlessly. The boot room (mud room) was central to the experience. Atlas provided parkas rated for extreme cold, rubber boots, and cleaned your gear between every landing to protect Antarctica's ecosystem. You keep the parka at the end of your voyage. Food & Dining: Better Than You'd ExpectDining was consistently one of the strongest parts of the ship. Here's what's included:- Main Dining Room: Buffet-style breakfast and lunch plus a rotating themed set menu for dinner (Italian, Asian, etc.) with multiple courses- Paula's Pantry- Counter service from 6:30 a.m. serving pastries, coffee, sandwiches, and daily rotating snacks- Afternoon Tea: Daily in the lounge with an extensive Kusmi Tea selection- 24-Hour Room Service: Full menu available any time — the midnight burger was excellent- All alcohol included: Beer, wine, and spirits all day, every day (except before excursions abd they enforce a strict no-alcohol policy before Zodiac tours and landings)- Fresh bread, pastries, and desserts baked daily by one dedicated baker and two pastry chefs using European-sourced ingredients What's Included in the PriceAt $10,000–$15,000+ per person (shoulder seasons like November and March on the lower end; peak and suites on the higher end), here's what's covered: the pre-voyage hotel night in Ushuaia, your flight to Ushuaia, the day tour before embarkation, all meals, all beverages (including alcohol and specialty coffees), gratuities, parkas, water bottles, and all expedition activities. Optional add-ons include kayaking, overnight camping on the continent, the Chef's Table, and spa treatments. Service: Nearly 1-to-1 Staff-to-Guest RatioWith approximately 130 crew members serving 153 guests, the service was personal in a way that's simply impossible on a mega-ship. Within a few days, staff knew every passenger's name. Our waiters remembered our preferences from the first meal. Gratuities are included, but the culture of going above and beyond was evident everywhere. The Expedition TeamSixteen experts from 11 countries — glaciologists, marine biologists, geologists, wildlife specialists — led every shore excursion with genuine enthusiasm. Sign up for a dinner with an expedition team member if you can; it's complimentary and completely worth it. Onboard Highlights You Wouldn't Expect- Crew Talent Show: One of the best evenings of the trip. Staff who you'd only seen behind the counter transformed into dancers, musicians, and a Rubik's cube speed-solver — all live.- Galley Tour: Met the executive chef and toured the immaculate kitchen — complimentary, not an upcharge.- Open Bridge Access: Visit the ship's bridge and talk with the captain and expedition leader — no extra fee.- Ship Stabilizers: Made a real difference in comfort during Drake Passage crossings.- Spa & Sauna: The sauna and heated loungers with panoramic windows overlooking Antarctica were unforgettable. Basic access is included; spa treatments are extra. Who Is This Ship Right For? The Atlas Ocean Voyages World Voyager is for travelers who want an immersive, destination-first expedition, not entertainment-heavy cruise-ship nightlife. Expect educational lectures, wildlife encounters, and an intimate atmosphere rather than big Broadway-style shows. If you want everyone on the ship to know your name by day two, and you care more about getting *on* Antarctic soil than watching it from a deck far above the water, this is your ship. Atlas also sails Arctic itineraries(summer), Mediterranean routes (summer), and a few Caribbean itineraries during transitions, and much of what we've described (small ship intimacy, included inclusions, exceptional service) applies to those voyages too.

It's Thursday, February 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British preacher challenges buffer zones around abortion mills A preacher in Britain is challenging the country's abortion buffer zones which effectively censor the Bible. Officials arrested, charged, and convicted Stephen Green for holding a sign with a Bible verse near an abortion mill in 2023. The verse was Psalm 139:13 which says, “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Green stated, “As a Christian, I should be able to preach freely all over the land. Psalm 139 is about how we all belong to God from conception. Buffer zones and this conviction [are] a direct attack on the Bible and free speech.” Elon Musk endorsed new conservative political party in England Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a new conservative political party in Britain last week. On Friday, Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe launched the Restore Britain Party. Musk shared the launch video on X which has received nearly 40 million views. The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and the creeping Islamification of Britain. Rupert Lowe also stated the party will openly recognize the country's Christian heritage. Listen. LOWE: “Restore Britain will openly recognize the Christian heritage that shaped this country's moral and civic foundation. (applause) Duty, restraint, forgiveness and, most importantly, fairness. These values created a high trust society. “Restore Britain will end the creeping Islamification of Britain. (applause) Unfettered immigration from Islamic countries will end. (applause) Britain is a Christian country, and under Restore Britain government, it will remain a Christian country.” (applause) Church of England votes against blessing homosexual couples Last week, the Church of England voted against proposals to allow blessing services for homosexual couples. The General Synod did not shut the door on the issue though, voting to investigate it in the future. The move keeps the church from performing marriage services and blessing services for people living in unnatural relations. However, the Church of England's rules already allow blessing prayers within regular Sunday services for such couples. Proverbs 25:26 says, “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.” Franklin Graham preached in world's southernmost city Evangelist Franklin Graham preached in Ushuaia, Argentina. It's known as the southernmost city in the world. Listen. GRAHAM: “What makes Ushuaia so special are the people. We love the people. If you can't remember anything else tonight, remember this: God loves you. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins. We deserve death. We're guilty of sin. “Bartimaeus had no hope. There are many of you here tonight. You have no hope. Now, Bartimaeus cried at the right time. Jesus was passing by. The Bible says that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but he should have everlasting life.' “Will you invite Christ into your heart? Will you trust Him? Come. Come to Jesus.” Hundreds of people turned to Christ through the evangelistic outreach event. Graham wrote on X, “We give God the glory for each one who responded to the invitation to repent of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” Eighty-two percent of South Americans identify as Roman Catholic, but evangelicalism has been growing in recent decades. Graham also plans to visit Peru next month. 21 states challenge mail-order abortion kill pills In the United States, 21 states and 60 members of Congress are challenging mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana initiated the case, challenging a Biden-era rule from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The rule removed the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug mifepristone. Erik Baptist with Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The Biden FDA's unlawful authorization of mail-order abortion drugs was meant to be a loophole around states that choose to protect life.” 41-year-old mother Olympic bobsledder wins gold (audio Olympic theme song) American Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor won her first gold medal on Monday. The 41-year-old mother triumphed in the women's monobob event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. She is now the oldest gold medalist in an individual Olympic event. After the victory, she said this on Instagram: “The moment we prayed for. Glory to God.” Norway has won the most gold medals Nearly 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics. So far, Norway has won the most gold medals and the most medals overall. In the medal count, Norway is followed by Italy and the U.S. A podium finish can mean big prize money for athletes. A gold medalist from the U.S. can win $38,000. Athletes from Singapore can make the most for winning an individual event at $792,000. Christian missionaries sharing Christ & Bibles in Olympic crowds And finally, Evangelicals are sharing the Gospel at the Winter Olympic Games this year. Hundreds of Southern Baptists alongside International Mission Board missionaries are joining the crowds to share Christ and distribute Bibles. Karen Herfurth is in Italy with a group from Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. She said, “This is a chance for Southern Baptists to reach more people and impact more lives! We may never know the difference this makes until we are in Heaven.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Why is it a good idea to sleep in a pit toilet in Alaska? In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, world-record holder Ashleigh Myles explains the benefits of such grungy accommodation and other facets of pedalling from the top of the Western Hemisphere to the bottom. This past December, the Halifax rider and cycling-event organizer travelled from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina, in 118 days, two hours and 30 minutes. That time marks the fastest trip on the Pan-American Highway by an unsupported female cyclist. In this in-depth interview, Myles not only discusses northern outhouses, but the gear she took on her ride, dealing with illness and aggressive animals, and handling parts of the route that a cyclist simply can't cover. Now that Myles's has set such an impressive record, what could the next goal be?

On this episode of Cowboy Shit, we're joined by Filipe Masetti Leite—long rider, award-winning journalist, and the youngest person to cross the Americas on horseback. Over 8 years, Filipe rode more than 16,000 miles through 12 countries, traveling from Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina with 11 different horses. Along the way, he faced extreme terrain, isolation, and moments that tested his will to continue. We talk about perseverance, resilience, leadership, and the powerful bond between humans and horses—plus what it takes to chase a dream when quitting feels easier. Filipe's journey is now documented in his free film, The Long Rider, available on YouTube. This episode is a reminder that the long way is sometimes the only way worth taking.

Ever wondered what it actually takes to reach Antarctica and what it feels like when your boots hit the ice? We open up the journey, from long-haul hops to Ushuaia and life aboard a small HX Expeditions hybrid ship to the reality of the Drake Passage, then unpack how strict biosecurity and expert-led briefings make this fragile place accessible without losing what makes it special.From the first glide through the Lemaire Channel to five unforgettable landings, we share practical detail on zodiacs, group rotations, and why “penguin highways” must be respected. Expect honest gear talk, thermals, waterproof trousers and sunblock over bulky ski wear, plus notes on seasickness, balcony cabins, and how the science centre turns downtime into discovery. We also get real about cost, value, and choosing a responsible operator that prioritises smaller groups and environmental impact.Guest travellers Karen and David add vivid moments, whales surfacing beside a silent ship, the shock of a polar plunge, and stepping onto the mainland at an Argentine base. We compare Antarctica with the Falkland Islands, weigh when to go, and highlight wildlife spotted from deck. If you're planning your first polar cruise or simply curious about the White Continent, this is a grounded guide to going prepared and coming home with more than photos.
Stefano Faravelli"Verso Capo Horn"Edizioni Adelphiwww.adelphi.itCircolo dei Lettori, TorinoMartedì 20 gennaio 2026, ore 28:00Stefano Faravelli con Dario Voltolini"Verso Capo Horn"www.circololettori.itCinquant'anni dopo Chatwin, la Patagonia come non l'abbiamo mai vista: disegnata da Faravelli.«Non ci troverete nulla. Non c'è nulla in Patagonia»: il giudizio, lapidario, è di Borges, e viene riportato da Paul Theroux in Ritorno in Patagonia. Che le cose non stiano proprio così lo ha dimostrato Chatwin, offrendoci il ritratto vitale di una terra arida ma nient'affatto immobile, un luogo dove non è necessario mettersi alla ricerca di storie, perché sono le storie a venire da te. E lo conferma anche Stefano Faravelli, con questo carnet de voyage – «sintesi di visione e pensiero ... intrecciarsi di una partitura disegnata (o dipinta) con quella scritta» – dedicato alla sua esperienza a bordo dell'Adriatica, salpata dal porto di Ushuaia con l'intento di doppiare Capo Horn, ma sorpresa da una tempesta e costretta a trovare riparo sull'Isola Navarino, nel Canale Beagle. «Una disavventura, più che un'avventura», che però non gli ha impedito di seguire la sua personalissima «Via del Taccuino». Con il piglio curioso del viaggiatore esperto e l'attenzione maniacale ai particolari del naturalista, Faravelli riesce nell'impresa di racchiudere in poche pagine l'infinitamente piccolo e lo sterminato, il presente e il passato. Le venature sulla superficie di una conchiglia diventano così unità di misura e chiave di lettura dell'immensità dell'oceano, le rotte degli antichi navigatori si sovrappongono a quelle degli uccelli e dei delfini che seguono l'Adriatica, il disegno si fonde con le parole, le carte nautiche con i francobolli. Il risultato è una sorta di mappa mentale – qui fedelmente riprodotta –, come a suggerire che ci sono luoghi troppo estesi, e complessi, per essere rappresentati dalle mappe tradizionali."Stefano è il solo artista in grado di dipingere con un capello presumibilmente corto, oppure un pelo di coniglio strappato in modo indolore..." Guido CeronettiStefano Faravelli vive e lavora a Torino. Alla formazione artistica della torinese Accademia Albertina fa seguire una laurea in Filosofia morale e lo studio di lingua e cultura araba all'istituto di Orientalistica. Dai suoi numerosi viaggi nel vicino, medio ed estremo oriente, riporta affascinanti carnet pubblicati a partire dal 1994, quando esce Sindh. Quaderno indiano. Da allora i suoi “taccuini” sono stati esposti a Londra, New York, Parigi, Istanbul e Gerusalemme. Nel 2011 ha esposto nel Padiglione Italia della 54a Biennale di Venezia.www.stefanofaravelli.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Tema del dia Després d'unes setmanes sense parlar, el Joan i l'Andreu es posen al dia: viatges, mudances, obres... Parlem també de la Fira del Llibre de Guadalajara i d'una nova obsessió de l'Andreu: els noms de pobles i ciutats catalans. Som-hi! Inscripcions obertes als pròxims cursos de català! Les classes comencen el 7 de gener. (https://classes.easycatalan.org/) Bonus L'Andreu explica algunes anècdotes del seu viatge a l'Argentina. Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Joan! Joan: [0:16] Bon dia, Andreu! Andreu: [0:18] Ui, ja començo malament. Bé, estic malalt. Joan: [0:29] T'anava a dir: "Com estàs?", perquè fa dues setmanes que no parlem, però ja ho veig. Andreu: [0:35] Sí. Vaig tornar del viatge malalt, de fet vaig estar dos terceres parts del viatge amb un refredat molt fort, que va començar com si fos una grip, perquè vaig estar dos o tres dies així amb febre, llavors la cosa va… es va suavitzar i vaig estar molts dies amb mucositat i tos, i els tres últims dies altre cop amb febre i molta tos, i al final va ser una bronquitis. Llavors, aquesta setmana he estat que no servia per a res i encara m'estic recuperant. Joan: [1:05] Però el viatge va anar bé o no vas poder-ne gaudir? Andreu: [1:08] Sí! No, sí, sí, ho vam fer tot, gràcies a la medicina, a la ciència, als (ibuprofens) i paracetamols. Sí, vam fer totes les excursions, vam veure les glaceres… bé, la més famosa és el Perito Moreno. Joan: [1:22] Perquè vas explicar que anaves a l'Argentina, en episodis anteriors? Andreu: [1:25] Crec que sí, que vaig dir que anava a l'Argentina. Potser el que no vaig dir va ser que anava concretament a la part del sud, de la Patagònia, que són tot paratges naturals brutals. Joan: [1:36] Preciosos. Molt bé. Andreu: [1:38] I, vull dir, molts llacs, moltes muntanyes… A la part del Calafate, que és com més o menys al mig de la Patagònia, és tot… bé, a l'Argentina hi ha molt territori que és estepa, no?, que és com desert, pràcticament, no hi ha res. I llavors tu estàs allà, veus l'estepa, que és tot més o menys pla, no hi ha pràcticament vegetació i tal, i de cop tens els Andes, bum!, muntanyes, saps? O sigui, no és com aquí que tenim el Prepirineu, que comença a haver-hi una mica de muntanyes, que es van fent més altes, més altes… Joan: [2:11] O sigui, és com si de cop pugés una muntanya allà a l'horitzó enorme, no? Andreu: [2:15] Sí, sí, sí. O sigui, tu estàs al desert i, de cop, muntanyes nevades. És molt curiós. I els llacs també són impressionants… Hi ha un llac que es diu Lago Argentino, que té un color blau cel, però un blau superclar, que es veu que és pels sediments de les glaceres, que generen a l'erosionar la roca, no?, perquè, clar, tot aquell gel, que és neu compactada, però és gel, diguéssim, doncs fa això, una erosió de la roca, que després deixa unes partícules en suspensió a l'aigua que no acaben mai de precipitar. I llavors té aquest color com... és com un… sí, un blau molt molt claret, no ho sé, molt curiós. Joan: [2:56] Que curiós. Andreu: [2:57] I després, més al sud, a Ushuaia, que en diuen "el fin del mundo", la Tierra de Fuego, doncs allà vam veure pingüins, lleons marins, també, vam veure còndors… Joan: [3:09] Molt bé, molt bé.

When the life she'd planned took an unexpected turn, Kathleen Perry had to find her footing again. The quiet retirement she and her husband had imagined was gone when he passed away — so she reached back to something she'd set aside long ago: a dream to wander. She set her sights on three places — Prudhoe Bay, Ushuaia, and Nordkapp — three dots on the map. And to connect those dots, she would ride a motorcycle.
When everything is perfectly organized—routes mapped, fuel stops planned, meals and beds guaranteed—it feels effortless. But the truth is, no matter how tidy the plan, the real world always gets a vote. On short rides, those small interruptions are easy to patch over. Stretch the miles across countries and weeks on the road, though, and the little things start to compound. That's when the first casualty is usually the plan—and what comes next is called the adventure.In this 2017 story, a dozen experienced riders set out to cross South America from Cartagena to Ushuaia, equipped with skills, support vehicles, and a clear plan. But tropical rain, border red tape, shock absorbers that cried uncle, and Patagonian winds forced them to adapt. The journey didn't unfold the way they mapped it—but that's the point. What carries a long trip isn't a perfect plan; it's the flexibility to rewrite it.
