10/10 - This was more of the Antarctic experience than we could have hoped for: the expedition leader and ship captain were communicative as they responded to ever-changing weather conditions, ensuring every landing was unique. The landscapes were otherworldly, the wildlife so varied, and the science and history lectures grounded the entire experience in the broader context of how Antarctica is changing.

Difficult to chose a most memorable moment. Boarding the cruise, opening the curtains the first morning and see how we were navigating on ice, the quietness, meeting the expedition team, the polar plunge, camping, dinners with cruise mates, the morning salutations from the crew, the lectures, every time we listened to a call for a landing... EVERYTHING!
