Watching the Gentoo Penguins fighting and squabbling with her neighbors over pebbles to build its nest and how mummy/papa penguins changing shifts to keep their eggs warm and for those which had chicks, its remarkable watching them feed their young after an outing at the sea..

The highlight was being able to experience wildlife up close (i.e. a humpback whale under our zodiac), as well as the amazing staff on the ship. There was a fair mix of younger and older people on my expedition, from 18-90! I was surprised by the massive scale of the continent.

Spending a few precious moments on the continent by myself to listen and absorb its wonder. I was alone at the end of a tour as the staff collected flags and we left the continent as fog rolled in, two penguins led us back to the zodiac. A truly mystical moment. Thank you…

The highlight was breaking through the iced up Lemaire channel. Scenery was amazing and wildlife interesting if limited in species. A pleasant interesting bunch of tourists from several countries all of whom were keen to get out, see things and learn. We’ll show them photos of the animals, birds, icebergs, sea conditions, the ship and the journey there. No surprises.

Our trip was amazing!! Crew and Expedition leaders were AWESOME!!! The ship is just the right size for us. Wildlife is OMG & landscapes are breath taking!! Most magical moment was when we saw the penguins in action on their natural habitat.

My best memories are of paddling in the serenity of a cove with penguins swimming nearby and beautiful icebergs around us. Another was the afternoon in the zodiac when we had dozens of whales around us. A couple came within 20 ft of us! The scenery was stunning. Someone said it was like an art gallery. Nature’s Art Gallery.

So many, but the most memorable was the humpback whale that came to our boat as we were getting ready to leave the Antarctic peninsula. The whale spent nearly 20 minutes entertaining the boat, and checking us out, not an inhibition in the world. We waved excitedly as it turned and fluked a final goodbye.
