There the Expedition embarked in the Ship of Support Oceanographic of the Brazilian Navy :44 Ary Rongel, that drove the team, for four days, until the Brazilian Station in Antarctica, in Bahia of the Admiralty.
To accomplish the piloting in the ice special tires were used, done in Ceará, with claw of inoxidable steel and solid inner tubes of the type "mousse". The tires of the ice are a precious chapter to the part in that expedition and fruit of an innovative experience.

The Expedition Maritime by Motorcycle at Antarctica was aided by the team of support composed by Journalist Kérsia Porto (Journalist, advertising, director of electronic media of Agency of Communication, reporter of journal of television) and Julião Vasconcelos (camera Freelancer with five years of experience in a producing of video).
About the pilot
Bozoka doesn't ingest alcoholic drink, he writes in the vague hours, and has an irrefutable passion: motorcycle. The expeditions, on two wheels, began in 1993 with the Challenge of Three America. "In the trip around Americas gave to notice that the inequality increased, turning the widespread poverty", reflects Bozoka. After conquering the Americas, Bozoka accomplished "The Trail of the Inca". Of that expedition, borned the book "In the trail of the Inca", that has the income destined to Menino Jesus' House, that takes care of children with cancer. In 2005 The third Expedition. In a 100% Brazilian motorcycle, Bozoka traveled the extreme roads of the country in the Expedition "Oiapoque to Chuí ".
To accomplish the Motorcycle Expedition - Marine Fortaleza - Antarctica was necessary different means of transportation: Bozoka the motorcycle and the support team were of car of Fortaleza to Punta Arenas in Chile. The team crossed Argentina and registered several, landscapes, from beautiful Patagônia Argentina to the social difficulties faced by "los Hermanos". Were 25 days in the highways until the team arrive to Punta Arenas. In Chilean territory we registered the exotic fauna of the area of the Patagônia (baptized by exploiters and adventurous as the "end of the world", because it dominates every extremity of the South American continent with its untamable and indescribable nature. The relief of this area is the only in the terrestrial globe with granite towers in tones roses and white up to 1.800 meters, crystalline lakes and picks covered with snow) and here, we stood out the excellent highways of the country.
In Punta Arenas the team embarked in the Ship of Support Oceanographic Ary Rongel. Seemed that we had arrived in Brazil, as big was the hospitality that we had on board. Each person with his history and everybody moved by the patriotic feeling of they be rendering a service to the nation and many with the expectation of knowing one of the most beautiful places of the world.
Three and a half days we passed in the Ship. We met the support work that the navy offers to Brazilian researchers in the station and of cooperation with other countries in the maintenance of foreign stations. The Brazilian ship took Poles, Chilean and Ecuadorian. That was an unforgettable part of the trip: to pass for Magalhães' strait, to cross the Chilean channels and to face Drake (the most dangerous space and feared for who navigates for the Pacific Ocean. It is the closest area in the world among the peninsula Antarctica and a continent and in the strait the winds can arrive at 100 kilometers per hour and to turn a Ship break-ice. But our passage for Drake, was calm (inside of the normal conditions).
Antártida is the last wild place and fewer explored of the world. The sea of the area, due to the convergence zone Antarctica, where the coming cold waters of the South Pole meet with hotter waters of South Atlantic, turns the space of the most unexpected ocean, making the day an adventure to the part.
"Therefore, in a sun afternoon, with light winds to Southwest, temperature of -23°C, Norwegian Roald Amundsen nailed a flag of red and blue silk. It was December of 1911 and the western man overcame one of the largest challenges to the courage, its arrival to the South Pole. To complete a century of that adventure, better homage doesn't exist". Space matter published by the Newspaper of the Northeast 12/10/05.
