South Georgia would rank as the highlight insofar as the scenery and the wildlife were both off the scale. The expedition team were excellent, both in terms of the varied and informative lectures, and their professionalism conducting the excursions. The 'Island Sky' staff were first-rate as well, from the ship's officers getting us into sheltered inlets, to the superb catering, and the tireless deck hands and hotel workers. Biggest surprise: Drake Lake! Magic moment: Being 'inspected' by a fur seal pup.

It was very humbling to be this small human being on the expanse of land, knowing most people will never see it.

Meeting a colony of 15 thousand penguins on our first day in South Georgia. Stepping on the Antarctic continent for the first time. Getting up close and personal with so many humpback whales.

There were so many moments, but if I had to choose one, having the humpback whales right next to our boat in the zodiacs and on the ship.

It was fantastic - South Georgia was such a special place for wildlife and the peninsula was spectacular. Too many magical moments to mention, but being surrounded by 150-200 humpback whales was one of the highlights.

On our final day in Antarctica at Fournier Bay, we were kayaking & were surrounded by humpback whales breaching & flapping their fins & towering icebergs, rolling & calving. It was sensory overload. We will remember that for ever!

Landing on the 7th Continent! The surreal feeling of like walking side be side with a David Attenborough cameraman filming for the Frozen Continent documentary.

Excellent. Out of this world landscape and wildlife more abundant than anyone can expect. Nearly everyone we met were very nice and we did develop a few new close friendships. However, as always, there were a few annoying people ("the front row people") and the "birder" group. No real surprises, but the serenity of Cierva Cove was magical.

St Andrews Bay in South Georgia with the massive king penguin colony and seeing the A23a iceberg at such close quarters was a photographer's dream as the backdrop of that iceberg and all the sea ice was such a great place for wildlife.
