That first step on Antarctica soil (well, rocks). I needed the kind hands of several Ponant crew, but that moment was incredible. Walking along the beach -- needing to pause as a Gentoo waddled right towards me. Seeing, hearing, and smelling the colony, the brace of Antarctic cold made the experience visceral.

I may never forget the initial fear, and then awe of having a humpback whale swim under my kayak! It was amazing to be so close to all the seals, whales, and penguins. I was also thrilled I got to be with my new friend and kayak-mate, Josh, as we came upon a sleeping leopard seal. This moment is what Josh had been waiting for for 15 years and why he took the trip.
