My first step on Antarctica fulfilled another item on my bucket list. I have now walked on every continent in the world. Coupled with the amazing chance to see those things I have only seen on TV, this was a definite life experience I’ll not forget.

Hard to pick one. The terrain in Antartica is hard to describe and the wild life in South Georgia was almost beyond belief. We had an awesome snowshoe at Fort Point and the hike and pilgrimage to Shackleton's grave was remarkable. We had wonderful meals with expedition staff and fellow travelers. The hotel staff even entertained us at a few meals.

The wildlife we saw and history we learned was amazing, but it was the quiet moments when we could just sit and experience the otherworldly landscapes that truly stood out to us, and the Aurora Expeditions team seemed to innately understand the importance of that.

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.

One of the most memorable moments of the trip was the first morning, opening the drapes and seeing the continent right there outside our window. It was breathtaking.

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.

Too many to list, the animals, the feeling that it’s a place where humans have never existed, the realization that traveling there is dependent on the whims of the sea and weather that are out of human control

It's hard to come up with just one! Loved seeing the penguins, watching two whales play alongside the ship during dinner, seeing all the beautiful icebergs.

Awakening at 4:00am to see that we had arrived in Antarctica. The morning light was amazing. The scene was beautiful and serene.

After a rough Drake crossing, we woke up at 4 am, opened the blinds. and VOILA we were in Antarctica. Icebergs, penguins, even a whale. It was surreal.
