Drake Strait is the widest strait in the world, with a width of 970 kilometers and a narrowest point of 890 kilometers. At the same time, the Drake Strait is the deepest strait in the world, with a maximum depth of 5248 meters. If two Huashan mountains and a Hengshan mountain are stacked in the strait, even the mountain heads will not emerge from the sea.
The Drake Strait is famous for its wild waves-because the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet here, and it is at the high latitude of the southern hemisphere, the storm has become the master of the Drake Strait. Therefore, Drake Strait is called "Storm Corridor" and "Devil Strait".
It is the patron saint of Drake Strait in Antarctica, keeping the Antarctic continent behind the westerlies pure and beautiful.
The formidable Drake Strait is often a major concern for travelers and explorers on their way to the South Pole. They are afraid of the discomfort of seasickness and the danger of strong winds and waves.
Now the advanced Antarctic scientific research ship can solve your worries.
And 90% of Antarctic travel is carried out on ships. Choosing a cruise can be said to be half the battle!
We took the lead in choosing Gemo, a new ship to the South Pole. One of its major characteristics is to resist the strong winds and waves in the westerlies.
Ge Mo's full name: Greg Mortimer, a new cruise ship with super resistance to wind and waves!
(The domestic media also call it "Cruise No.1")
Technology not only changes the world, but also affects Antarctic travel. Greg Mortimer subverts polar exploration with technology. Instead of flying, use Ullstein? X-BOW？ Patented technology, you can say goodbye to seasickness when you return to the ship.
Brand new bow design, no longer afraid of polar storms.
Compared with other cruise ships, Greg Mortimer, an Antarctic tourist, has the advantage of changing the traditional V-shaped bow shape, using a smoother X-shaped bow, increasing the bow volume, raising the waterline to the hull height, and slowing down the impact of wind and waves. It has strong adaptability in the changeable polar environment, especially in the face of strong winds and waves, passengers will obviously feel "more stable" when crossing Drake. X-BOW？ The application of technology has greatly shortened the cruising time. By absorbing the energy of the waves, Greg Mortimer will get a higher transportation speed, so that passengers can cross the strait and reach the South Pole faster.
Super wind and wave resistance means that passengers can enjoy the scenery outside the cabin as much as possible, and will not be locked indoors because of the wind and waves, but go to the outdoor 360-degree open observation deck to watch and photograph wild animals comfortably.
In addition, Greg Mortimer has completely defined the safety standards for Antarctic travel and polar navigation. Advanced ship technology, coupled with the stability system of Rolls-Royce, can run normally and safely even if the engine fails.
Single landing platform+hydraulic viewing platform
In order to ensure the passengers' experience in the Antarctic, Greg Mortimer also creatively designed and built two special platforms to ensure that passengers can get on and off the assault boat faster and get a richer view.
Landing platform: Greg Mortimer's navigation capacity in polar regions is limited to 100 passengers, and he owns 15 assault boats, far exceeding other cruise ships. Four independent assault boat landing platforms can effectively ensure that passengers can get on and off the assault boat quickly and efficiently, and all personnel can land at one time, increasing the number of landings every day and winning more landing time.

In terms of safety, Greg Mortimer has high safety and is made by Rolls-Royce Stability System. If the cab of a cruise ship encounters an emergency such as water loss or fire, it can safely return to the nearest port by controlling the safe return console and relying on the redundant power of the cruise ship itself. Even in bad sea conditions, the endurance of safe return to Hong Kong can reach 1500 nautical miles, and the design fully meets the sailing distance of cruise ships returning to Hong Kong. There is also a medical center on board, and a well-trained medical team can provide necessary treatment in time.
