Several come to mind - first sighting of a massive berg - size of a multi-storey car park (the visible bit) as we left South Georgia - multiple Humpback whales (15-20) surrounding our zodiac for best part of an hour - Orca pod systematically hunting and drowning a fin whale - penguins galore on S Georgia

Going further south in the Weddell Sea than the ship had ever sailed before, then walking across the ice to the Emperor Penguin colony...We were the called back to the ship as the ice started to shift and the ship was surrounded. It was only after a few hours of careful manoeuvring that we were free and heading north again. The expedition team and the captain were absolute heroes.

The whole trip was so memorable it's hard to pick the most memorable. But seeing penguins upclose and whales was unbelievable experience. One day we were seeing about 10 whales when in our zodiac. Also would like to share what a deal it was to be included in the Photo group. Totally worth every penny. We got to go out first and stay out later, and the guides were fantastic even if just using your iphone camera!!

Very difficult to pick anything out, it was all memorable. Every aspect stands out, from the onboard food and amazing "hotel" staff, cabin comfort, the sheer quality of the onboard experts, and of course the incredible destination. Antarctica21 as the provider were absolutely first rate in all aspects.
