Standing above a colony of over 300,000 King Penguins at Saint Andrews Bay, South Georgia ...... although that ties with also being able to stand on Antarctica with my husband, Mark, as we celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary.

Touching spots where Ernest Shackleton walked over 100 years ago. Visiting his grave was a real ‘bucket list’ check in the box.

There were so many, it’s tough to pick one. Moment of silence on top of Danco island (hearing avalanches, whales and penguins in the distance) sticks out. Close encounter with humpbacks in the zodiac. Camping overnight with the most amazing skyline.

There were so many! I think the most emotive was the camping experience on Antarctic "soil", others include incredible landings with many penguins, to watch them in their habitat, the whales and orcas' viewings, the first encounter with Antarctica, on the early morning of our arrival, the ice closing on us in one of the landings, the so interesting talks about what we were viewing , the fauna and other subjects, the possibility to go to the bridge and look at the navigation instruments and the incredible view from the bridge itself, the gentleness and availabitlity of all the personnel that took care of us, especially George, Valeria, Lucia and Saskia...

All of it...the guides were amazing, the food was awesome, the crew that kept everything clean were great, as well as the servers for the meals. The lectures put on by the guides helped to understand the fragile ecosystem on the continent. Most memorable was the kayaking....

So many memorable moments, the excitement of boarding day, all the daily activities(camping, kayaking, mounteering, zodiac rides, polar plunge) the delicious freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea, the surprise warm spiced apple drink on one of the zodiac trips, the sadness I felt when the cruise over. Definitely the best and most memorable holiday we have ever had

It was all so memorable, but if I had to choose it was Kayaking around Palava Point with penguins swimming beside me. It was a blue sky day as we kayaked around icebergs. Fantastic
