Antarctica, Part 4: An Audio Slideshow
Filed Under: We’ve spent hours sharing highlights of our Antarctica experience with family, friends and fellow travelers. The result: we get excited, they get excited. And rightfully so — Antarctica is a special place and our experience there was truly memorable in so many dimensions.
Inspired by all of these conversations ourselves, we decided to dabble in a different medium, the audio slideshow, to relate our Antarctica experience in a different way.
For best viewing results, click full screen (four arrows) on the right side. Make sure your volume is turned on/up.
The tour we took with Gap Adventures went south of the Antarctic Circle. We highlight this feature as most tours to Antarctica do not go this far south. You can read more tour details here.

Thank you!

Great job. What program(s) did you use to make this audio slide-show? I am a high school teacher in the US and would like to incorporate this into my curriculum. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Glad you enjoyed this and thanks for the positive feedback on our first audio slideshow! So, we should try and incorporate more audio slideshows into our regular posts?
@Ross: We plan to start incorporating more video clips as well into our posts. Anything else you’d like to see more of here? We appreciate feedback from our readers!
@Leigh: Yes, VERY glad we made the decision to go to Antarctica. We hope our readers haven’t gotten bored of it yet
@Bret: We used Soundslides to make this audio slideshow. This software was recommended to me by the media organization I used to work for in Prague. I haven’t tried other software formats, but I found Soundslides very easy to use and would recommend it.

It was a lovely slide show. I never felt so excited watching it earlier on any other media.
Soon I can think of planning one of my own.

Wow. I loved your story and slideshow. I have booked to travel on the Antarctic Circle trip on the MS Expedition in February/March 2012.
