  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Will you hit Antarctica before shabbos? Any way to set up a Tchum to allow a disembarkation on shabbos?

Would be a shame if after everything, there was only Sunday and Monday to be able to actually spend time in Antarctica.
That's the best case scenario at this point.

You need to board a zodiac to reach land, don't think that's allowed on Shabbos. Same goes for reboarding on Shabbos.
