Snorkeling in frigid sea was so much fun! I wore 3 layers of thin thermal plus 4th layer of thick under-jacket given by Aurora; 4 layers of thin thermal/tight; 4 layers of medium thick winter socks. On top of these layers, put on the Dry Suit. Aurora also provided a fitting hood to keep our head dry, and thick gloves. The water does get into the gloves but you won’t feel cold. Snorkelers also enjoyed the best tour of the sea ice, ice bergs, and seals because the zodiac drivers assigned to snorkelers are skilled, fun and yet keep us safe. Penguins are so much fun to watch. I learnt so much about penguins and Antartica birds. Can’t get enough of them!

Just the first sight of the the icebergs and the entire topography of Antarctica - its surreal.. its etched on my mind and heart forever.. There is some much that I saw and learnt in this trip about Antarctica that no literature can match that.. I will forever cherish these moments .. the penguins, humpback whales, sea lions and the silence too!!

South Georgia, by far. That was the primary focus of our trip, and one of the reasons we selected this cruise as it spent 4+ days around South Georgia. Unfortunately, the weather pushed us out after a couple days. Bottom line, I'd go back to S. Georgia as a destination in and of itself - we both thought it surpassed Antarctica on a number of levels (scenery, wildlife density, historical, etc.)

It is hard to choose just one, but I think I have to go with seeing gentoo and chinstrap penguin chicks. To be so close to nature happening, it is amazing. The other one was a one-minute silence we did in a Zodiac. It is incredible how loud and beautiful the sound of water is, ice melting, ice carving.

When the emperor penguin slid across the ice floe and came right up to our zodiac. He was curious and unafraid to examine us for what seemed like an eternity. It was magical and unreal! What a thrill to engage with this majestic creature.
