Can you post the corrections? To the laymen it seemed like a nice article.
Are you joking? There are so many errors here, even if you know nothing about Judaism. Factual errors, typos, missing words in middle of a sentence, etc.

1. She spoke to me 3 weeks ago and is publishing today. We now have 35 bookings.
2. I told her the resolute can hold 150 people, though do to Sabbath reasons the Jewish crowd must be less than half of the total passengers on the ship. Maybe she misheard me.
3. Since when is DDMS called DDF?
4. "It takes two days to cruise around Antarctic, and another two days to get back to Argentina."

Among other silly ones like
"Getting an emergency plane down to Antarctica without insurance would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars without insurance."
"But it never gets dark in Antarctica"
And many more
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

A ton of factual errors, to start with. Hopefully it'll be updated soon.

ETA: I see @Dan beat me to it.

But he left out the biggest mistake: Dan's Deals is NOT the points guy ;D

How about spelling Satmer instead of Satmar?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Surprisingly enough, the Yiddish (or "Yiddish", as the case might be) version is way more accurate:
