There were many- but cruising up to glacier at thee d if an amazing day with bright blue skies, the glacier in full view with sun shining and a leopard seal flaring by on an iceberg was spectacular. Zodiac raising with the humpback whales and floating among the icebergs south of the Antarctic Circle was full on wonderful!

A visit to Antarctica offers many “memorable moments”. I was “most” moved on several occasions when cruising on Zodiacs in the middle of pristine, majestic environments surrounded by water, mountains, snow, floating ice and penguins. Hope we can keep it that way for future generations.

The trip was overall a matter of extremes—some things were outstanding and some things really fell short of expectations. Contracting Covid on the ship after avoiding it for over 2.5 years and having 5 vaccinations was a real surprise.

Having 10 humpbacks surrounding us whilst in the zodiacs. A couple were within touching distance. At one point 2 surfaced next to us as the glacier to our right calved. It was unreal.

Hard to say, there were so many.....stepping onto the continent for the first time was really a special moment, I loved camping on the continent...the kayaking was amazing, I could go on forever. What a fantastic trip!

There are too many to share, but the one that stands out the most for me was when he had the Gerlache Orca's around the boat teaching their young how to hunt a humpback whale.

Once in a lifetime holiday. Amazing Adventure! Highlight (and there were many), but we encountered a pod of Orcas eating a minke whale. While that was exciting enough, there was a humpback in the area, that the Orcas then started to hunt as well. It turns out that pod of Orcas was comprised of Mothers with their young. The mothers were teaching their young how to hunt. So they were "playing" with the humpback (not from the side of the humpback, but it survived this encounter), but they did this literally next to our ship. It was amazing to watch. An experience I will never forget.

I am still 'working through' my 7,000 plus photos and I am reliving some of these moments that I captured 'digitally'. It is impossible to reduce the trip to only 'one moment'. The first sight of the Antarctic Peninsula, watching Penguins stumbling over the rocks, hitting some ice at night that shakes the entire ship, South Georgia's sheer endless number of Penguins, Grytviken Whaling station, the endless cruising along the 80 mile long iceberg A76-a,...

Impossible to say one, the scale Antarctica is far more than any photo or documentary can show.
