Experiencing the power of the Drake Passage, we had the Drake Shake both ways, made me understand the risks of the early explorers and the extreme ecosystems. Seeing a leopard seal catch and flay a penguin reminded me that nature is not cuddly.

Too many to pick from. The sheer number of humpbacks and orcas and how close they were was completely amazing. Then the Iguazu falls extension. Day after day you think it couldn't get any better but then it would. I wasn't really expecting the food and accomadations to be so good but both were excellent. We really enjoyed the lectures and seminars. Not your typical tour guides.

The first evening arriving in Antarctica, the Aurora Expedition crew announced we were going out and to suit up. Everyone was thrilled. I was in the kayaking group, only 3 of us and 1 guide, so we set out first. It was sleeting and grey and cold out. The landscape was snowy, rocky and barren. It was quiet and then happened upon an elephant seal swimming in the water who poked his head up at us. He stared at us, we stared at him, gliding by. It was too cold to pull out my camera, but perhaps that was the best b/c it is seared into my memory, being in the moment with Antarctica wildlife.

Near the end of the cruise we sailed into a little bay in the Antarctic Sound...there were mountains, ice bergs in the bay, penguins, whales in the distance, rolling hills, sun and clouds and so very many shades of blue and white on the ice. In short it was the single perfect moment with all the elements that we were enjoying coming together in one spot. And we were able to sit in the snow for the first time and we took some awesome pics there. It was what I call a perfect moment.

We had a humpback whale come right up beside our zodiac where it stayed for about half an hour! It was so playful and curious, skyhopping to see what was going on and swimming around genuinely like it was playing with us. It was incredible!

On South Georgia, 5 gentoo penguins approached me. I stopped and stood still. They continued towards me and stopped a few feet away looking at me. After a couple of minutes they continued on their way taking care of whatever penguin business they had.
