I am hours away from jumping on my ship and leaving the port of Ushuaia to head back down to my happy place ~ Antarctica! I do in fact have some sort of satellite internet on the vessel that I am.  However, it isn’t the most reliable, fastest or the cheapest thing to use whilst on board.  I have decided though to post at least once a day giving the awesome community that is Steemit what my daily life is like down there.  It shall be my Antarctic Diaries on the M/V Island Sky.
