Ross Sea Discovery: In Scott & Shackleton's Footsteps Reviews

My highlight was stepping on the Antarctica Continent, the Ross Sea, Ross Island, Ross Ice Shelf, and Port Ross and was my most magical moment. The historic huts were amazing; to think that the explorers endured and many lost their lives for exploration gives me so much respect for all they accomplished. The landscape: icebergs as well as the flora and fauna in such remote areas were breathtaking. The wildlife and how they survive in such extreme conditions was amazing. We had an awesome group of fifty people that socialized, laughed, and shared their stories of who they were and why this trip was meaningful for them.

Within a 24 hour period we visited one of the historic Antarctica Explorer's huts, visited a large Adelie penguin colony, and enjoyed champagne on ice, with an Emperor penguin, standing on the Ross Sea Ice pack.

Walking on the actual Antarctic continent - breathtaking and once-in-a-lifetime for sure!

Too many to give a rating to one moment. Great moments ranged from the interaction with wildlife to being able to just wander in the wildness.

When I was at Sir Ernest's hut looking out to the sea and gazing at Mt. Erebus. I had the most overwhelming feeling of a sense of history and was awed by the beauty of the site. I felt so privileged and humbled to be there.
