Too many to count. Kayaking through pieces of ice that had seals resting on them. Watching penguins. Having so many scientists and highly skilled experts on board to hear from and talk to. Learned so much from them as well as the trip itself. Appreciated the inclusion of lectures and information about glaciology, wildlife, climate change, sustainability, and what we can do. Before beginning our voyage, we purchased carbon offsets for this trip from Cool Effect (one of many that seem high rated and well-monitored).

Camping on the Antarctic land was the most amazing and serene experience we ever had or will have in future. It was the best to dig your own "grave", sleep under the stars, hearing avalanche and having penguins and seals lying around.. Very very surreal and most memorable experience on this trip.

Crossing the Drake passage, lectures on the wild life found in the area and then actually getting to see the animals. Visiting Deception Island, setting foot on the continent for the very first time. I enjoyed my time on the Hondius, amazing staff, Karolina, & DJ, and fellow ship mates.

Discrimination by one of guides. He treated us like prisoner. Whole trip was stressful. We had done trip to Franz Joseph land with this company and had good experience. However there is severe deterioration in company. One of guides ( They know name) worked in police department in remote island and they hired him as guide. There was no tourism experience and many guides were inexperienced people and had severe attitude problem.
