The Drake Passage can be amongst the roughest waters in the world,and the two-day voyage is often known as the 'Drake Tax' for travellers to Antarctica. Like many of the ships crossing to Antarctica, the 'Professor Molchanov' was initially a Russian scientific vessel, which with the fall of the USSR found itself out of funds. The last 10 years it has been leased to Quark Expeditions, the Russian crew remaining. | ||
