I have been back 6 weeks now from Antarctica and just needed that much time to process the majesty of our 7th continent.

Quark‘s video does as good a job as any in showing and explaining the magic of the place. But it still does not hold a candle to experiencing it for yourself.

Near the Lemaire Channel.

This is a generic look at our route.

And for those who like the nitty gritty details of the voyage.

I can’t explain how awesome the trip was from start to finish. The Captain did an amazing job, the staff was spectacular, the 182 passengers awesome and the experience literally one of a lifetime.

For organizational purposes I am just going to post the date and location and then photos from here on.
