@Dean: Give us a shout when you do!

@Andy: Wondrous and immense, great choice of words. That’s Antarctica. Overwhelming, too. Glad you had a chance to experience it. Thanks for your comment.

I ‘did’ Antarctica in 1986 as part of a Naval tour of duty with the British Royal Navy. From all my travels since, both military and private, I have yet to see anything so wondrous and immense in scope and nature. From the King penguin to the Elephant seal, from the Sperm whale to the Albatross, I saw them all in their natural habitat. Add to that, awe inspiring icebergs (one of which we actually ‘pushed’ with the ships bow)and glaciers so huge they point to the heavens. I have some epic images of the region and if travel is meant to inspire, inform and enlighten…the South Atlantic should be on your ‘to do’ list.

Fantastic images. Antarctica is such an evocative destination. Nothing can prepare you for the majestic sight of giant chunks of ice breaking free from the glaciers and crashing into the icy water.

@TheTuscan: That’s the thing that’s so wild with Antarctica – it’s frozen and feels static, yet as you mentioned so much is living underneath the sea that we can’t see. That was one of the great things of having scientists aboard our trip – they were able to explain what was happening that we couldn’t see with plain eyes.

@Andi: Thank you!!

@April: Antarctica was also on our wish list for a long time, but when we were traveling in Argentina we found a last minute deal and decided to take the plunge. So glad we did. Look forward to hearing about your trip when you do decide to go!
