Chapter 7429

The Port of Ushuaia, as the closest port on Earth to the Antarctic continent, primarily handles the re-shipment and supply of ships bound for Antarctica.

However, the port is not particularly large, with only one commercial terminal and one oil supply terminal, with a total of fewer than ten berths. During peak season, berths are often insufficient, and many vessels must anchor offshore, with personnel disembarking by ferry.

The harbor docks were nearly full at the time, and most of them were research vessels flying the flags of various countries. These included research vessels from Northern Europe, as well as those from China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia.

Due to poor sea conditions in the Drake Passage in recent days, the research vessels are awaiting their departure time in Ushuaia.

It is said that there are also many cruise ships and research vessels from the Antarctic Peninsula, the mainland, and the islands that are rushing to disembark before the last departure time opens and are also waiting for their return time.

Once the last group of Antarctic tourists and summer research team members return to Ushuaia, this summer’s Antarctic tourism season will officially come to an end.

After the recent peak evacuation period has passed, the Port of Ushuaia will see almost no commercial cruise ships dock for the next six months, with only cargo ships and research vessels from various countries remaining. At that point, Ushuaia will enter its true off-season.

Here’s a little tip about Ushuaia: many trips to Antarctica require bookings well in advance, making them very expensive and unaffordable for most people. However, if tickets are still available before departure, they can be significantly cheaper.

Therefore, many backpackers, seeking the most cost-effective way to reach Antarctica, forgo booking cruises in advance. Instead, they fly directly to Ushuaia during the Antarctic tourist season and wait for a ship with available tickets to Antarctica. At that time, there are many ships to choose from, and it’s relatively easy to find good deals.

The minibus headed straight for the dock and stopped in front of the Nordic research vessel. Upon seeing the minibus return, several men immediately got out and warmly greeted Charlie and his colleagues.

They were somewhat surprised that the four meteorologists were Asian, but their superiors had warned them that their identities were state secrets and they were not allowed to inquire. So, despite their surprise, they all displayed excellent professionalism and asked no questions.

One of the men, about fifty years old, stepped forward and said to Charlie, “Hello, Mr. Louis, I’m John Torresson, captain of the Nordic research vessel Iliad. You can call me John. Welcome aboard with you and the three ladies!”

Charlie was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected the only research vessel in Northern Europe to be named the Iliad. So, the ship was named after a royal family?

It seems that the Nordic countries do show greater respect for the royal family than other constitutional monarchies.

Charlie then politely shook his hand and said, “Hello Captain Torresson, I will be troubling you for the next few days.”

John Torresson wasn’t sure which department Charlie and his “meteorologist” were from in Northern Europe. When their superiors shared the information, they were specifically instructed not to ask too many questions, not to interfere, and to make things as easy as possible.

So he even thought that Charlie and his group might be military personnel. But he also had a vague feeling that something wasn’t right. Military immigrants were extremely rare. How could so many Asians arrive at once?

Charlie noticed the doubt in his eyes and thought that after boarding the ship, he would find an opportunity to give psychological suggestions to everyone on board to eliminate future problems and solve this problem once and for all.

The Iliad is an icebreaker research vessel launched less than five years ago. It has a displacement of 12,000 tons, Class III icebreaking capability, and can navigate through ice up to 1.5 meters thick without obstruction. It can operate in ice-covered waters year-round, in both the Arctic and Antarctic.

After boarding the ship, the captain led the four men on a tour of the ship’s facilities and layout. The ship was enormous, with over a dozen laboratories in addition to the engine room and cargo hold below, as well as a restaurant, library, gym, and other public facilities.

The four men then followed the captain to the crew cabin, which contained more than forty rooms of various types: single rooms, double rooms, and rooms for four people.

Scientific research staff are provided with double or single rooms as standard. Except for the captain and first mate, all other staff on board live in four-person rooms.

The primary mission of this Antarctic voyage was to transport supplies and then evacuate scientific research personnel from the research station. Therefore, there were only a little over 20 people on the entire ship, and even with Charlie and his three companions, the total number was less than 30.

Charlie and Maria Lin each chose a single room, while Jeremiah Yun and Song Ruyu, who were used to living together, asked for a double room.
