18 February 2022 – Friday – Passenger MEDEVAC to MS FRAM

It took most of the day to get approval of the Fram, the Falklands, and the insurance company. They finally all approved at 2 pm. Since yesterday evening we have traveled almost the entire length of South Georgia. 

MS Fram is a passenger vessel operated by the Norway-based Hurtigruten Group. The ship is named after the original Fram, the ship used by explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen. The ship operates in the Arctic Ocean and around Greenland in the summer, and cruises around Antarctica at other times of the year.^[2][3] In December 2007, the ship lost power and struck a glacier in Antarctica, sustaining damage to the starboard side; the collision did not affect the ship’s seaworthiness.^[4]
