Crossing the Antarctic circle at midnight on new years, stepping foot on the Antarctic continent (our 7th continent!), PENGUINS, kayaking through ice and snow and among giant icebergs, polar plunge, standing on point wild (elephant island), the opportunity to have had Greg Mortimer as our expedition lead, walking amongst the wildlife at fortuna bay (South Georgia), observing chicks at the Falklands…truly so many memorable moments it’s impossible to pick just one!

As we traveled through the Drake Passage, icebergs started to appear and we knew we were close. Nothing could have prepared us for the astonishing beauty of Antarctica. It the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.

Touching down on the main continent. I had only dreamed we'd maybe get to touch down perhaps once, but the incredible expedition team and crew were able to get us down 3 times! I was blown away, and was very impressed and pleased by how the teams worked hard to make that dream happen.

The trip was full of memorable moments - for the first three days, it was just one awe-inspiring moment after another, and really we continued to be surprised and delighted up until the last hour. If I have to pick one moment, I’m going to pick the bum slide down a steep slope overlooking a calving glacier and a tranquil, iceberg-filled bay that followed a lovely hike past a penguin rookery. But also: the orcas appearing during the whale talk, the baby humpback breaching off the bow of the zodiacs, the polar plunge, watching from the outriggers as the the boat cut through the ice, drinking macallan with ice fresh from a berg, having an impromptu dance party with my husband on top of a volcanic cinder cone. It was just a super trip from beginning to end.

Enjoyed all the excursions on the zodiac's. The landings and even the zodiac safari's through the iceburgs. Wildlife abundant. Whales, penguins, seals and birds. Weather was amazing, not cold at all with one layer under pants and shirt. Jacket they provide is great ( I would have liked Women's sizing and not Men's though). Most women are wider at the hips and these men's jackets were very tight to zipper in that area so we had to size up and then its too big everywhere else. The crew was outstanding, everyone from reception, excursion team, food service, housekeeping and all.

There were many! My most memorable would be kayaking and having a whale surface about 500 feet from us, and then dive back down with a whale tail in the air.

The first evening arriving in Antarctica, the Aurora Expedition crew announced we were going out and to suit up. Everyone was thrilled. I was in the kayaking group, only 3 of us and 1 guide, so we set out first. It was sleeting and grey and cold out. The landscape was snowy, rocky and barren. It was quiet and then happened upon an elephant seal swimming in the water who poked his head up at us. He stared at us, we stared at him, gliding by. It was too cold to pull out my camera, but perhaps that was the best b/c it is seared into my memory, being in the moment with Antarctica wildlife.
