The leading ultra-luxury and expedition cruise line strengthens its partnership with Puerto Williamsby investing in the local community
Silversea Cruises®, the leading ultra-luxury and expedition cruise line, has bolstered its investment in the community of Puerto Williams, Chile, by sponsoring a physical education integration programme for disabled children at the Puerto Williams School in the remote Chilean town. Silversea commissioned and donated the new mobility equipment as part of its comprehensive destination programme, which aims to foster positive long-term relationships and champion local communities in the destinations to which the cruise line sails.

“An important gateway to Antarctica, Puerto Williams is a key destination for Silversea, and it is always our goal to positively impact the local communities we visit,” said Conrad Combrink, Senior Vice President of Expeditions, Destination and Itinerary Management for Silversea Cruises. “Building this facility is just the first step in our commitment to supporting the social needs of Puerto Williams. As the only cruise line to be operating out of Puerto Williams, providing a uniquely seamless journey to Antarctica for our guests, we are working hand-in-hand with local leaders and grassroots operators to not only showcase Puerto Williams in the most authentic way possible to our guests, but also to care for the needs of the community. We are incredibly grateful to Governor Jorge Flies; Delegada Presidencial María Luisa Muñoz; the Mayor of Puerto Williams, Patricio Fernández Alarcón; the Yagan Community; and the entire population of Puerto Williams for their continued support and partnership.”
Silversea has also donated four Zodiacs to the Cedena Nautical School in Puerto Williams, a non-profit organisation dedicated to training and educating children and young people in nautical sports—a first step for many locals to learn the basic skills needed for a career in the expedition industry.
On November 15, Silversea held a blessing ceremony for its new ship Silver Endeavour℠at the Cape Horn Sub-Antarctic Center in Puerto Williams. Silversea Executives, Chilean tourism officials, local leaders, and clergy members attended the ceremony.
One of the world’s most advanced and luxurious expedition vessels, Silver Endeavour will welcome guests in Antarctica from November 21, 2022, broadening ultra-luxury cruising’s most diverse polar offering. Travelling aboard Silver Endeavour in her inaugural season—on voyages that range from five to 20 days and include Silversea’s Antarctica Bridge fly-cruise sailings, an extended ‘Deep South’ expedition, a 10-day Antarctic Peninsula voyage, and more—Silversea’s guests will journey in the cruise line’s trademark level of comfort, while enjoying some of the most immersive, personalised experiences available in Antarctica.
Ein
altes Menschheitsgeheimnis ist entschlüsselt worden: Die Moai,
markante Steinfiguren auf der Osterinsel, wurden mit genauer
Bestimmung platziert. Roland Mischke hat Rapa Nui bereist.
Schon
Babys wollen Gerechtigkeit. Aus Studien ist bekannt, dass die
Kleinsten mit dem Wunsch auf die Welt kommen, zu teilen. Selbst beim
Spielzeug achten sie, die weder sprechen noch gehen können, darauf
dass es gerecht verteilt ist. Dieses Empfinden liegt offenkundig in
unserer Natur.
So
auch auf der Osterinsel. Den einsamsten Ort der Erde. Nach Osten hin
fast 4000 Kilometer von der chilenischen Küste und nach Südwesten
hin, zur nächsten Inselgruppe, den Marquesas-Inseln, ebenso 4000
Kilometer entfernt. Auf der Osterinsel wohnen etwa 4000 Menschen, die
Rapa Nui, wie sie sich und gleichzeitig ihre Insel nennen. Sie gehört
zum Staat Chile, aber die Einheimischen kommunizieren in einem
polynesischen Dialekt. Rapa Nui heißt: Großer Stein. Wie das
abgelegene Eiland besiedelt werden konnte, ist unklar. Und unklar war
auch bis vor kurzem, nach welchem System auf der 166 Quadratkilometer
großen Insel 638 vermessene Moai verteilt wurden.

Unglaubliches
ist über die bis zu knapp zehn Meter hohen und tonnenschweren
Steinskulpturen mit den wuchtigen Körpern ab der Taille und den
riesigen Köpfen berichtet worden. Jetzt haben US-amerikanische
Forscher das Geheimnis gelüftet. Die Kolosse wurden immer dort
aufgestellt, wo sich eine Süßwasserquelle befand. Alle Insulaner
sollten wissen, wo es Wasser gibt. Selbst in der Weite des Stillen
Ozeans funktioniert das menschliche Gerechtigkeitsempfinden.
Die Moai, maskuline Figuren, galten als Darstellungen von Häuptlingen oder populären Ahnen. Diese Ansicht ist nun widerlegt. Die Anthropologen Carl Lipo und Terry Hunt von der Universität Binghamton in New York erklärten: „Je mehr wir die Zusammenhänge geprüft haben, desto mehr bestätigte sich das Muster, das wir sahen. An Orten ohne Statuen gab es kein Süßwasser.“ Moai stehen nur an Wasserstellen. Die Ahnenreihe beschwört die Tradition des Teilens, das Wasser ist kollektives Gut…..
