Too many to tell. The visit to South Georgia was spectacular. The ability to see so many penguins and fur seals in their natural habitat was spectacular. But best of all were the guides. They were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make our trip both enriched and kept us safe.

The most memorable moment of all times was the heat and the intensity of the sunlight that i saw at the top of the mountain. As u know, Antarctica had the highest recorded temperatures while I was there. and its not just like any other high temperature that I'm used to in NY, this sun in Antarctica is very strong. its bright and it got very hot. never did I even imagine that the sun and the heat that i will face in Antarctica will be stronger than what im used to NY. goes to show how severe the climate emergency is. and its real!. that was astonishing!

Landing on King George. The reason is that we had been delayed due to fog for two days and our trip was in jeopardy of being canceled. Two groups behind us never got to visit this incredible place due to weather. People who want to travel here have to understand that if you’re going to do the fly route the weather can be very fickle. Fog is a real issue. We came to learn that there must be at least 1000 feet of visibility clearance for the pilot to see the runway. This is a serious wild place. Landing strip has no landing lights, no tower and it’s gravel. And, wind plays a part too. Was it worth the risk of cancellation? OMG YES! The Antarctic is Overwhelming beauty and floods all 5 of your senses. Never experienced anything like this before. Sight and sounds are one of a kind. My wife and I are in our mid 60s and we didn’t find the trip physically challenging.

Walking on the Antarctic Continent Kayakiing with Humpback whales Observing the penguins in their rookeries Zodiac expeditions through the ice fields Lectures on board First class Magellan Explorer experience - small, personal, first class!! All the wonderful people we met! By the way, your rating scale inhibits an outstanding rating only because it was not life changing. It was beyond amazing though!
