The entire experience makes one moment difficult but setting foot on my seventh continent was goal completing and memorable. That said meeting my bunkie an 82 year old who had spent three years in the 70’s as part of a South African Antarctic Expedition coming back and finding the continent in better condition than he expected was the most meaningful moment.

Our first landing in South Georgia when the king penguins just walked up and greeted us on the beach. It still makes me grin and tear up to think of it!

Very hard to pick one but maybe the hike on Petermann island, surrounded by so many penguins

The kayaking was the best and most memorable part of my Antarctica trip. The ability to paddle up to the wildlife and landscape with little to no disruption was wonderful!

Paddling in Fournier Bay surrounded by humpback whales. There were blows everywhere. There were whales trumpeting. Two sleeping whales floated to the raft of kayaks and then veered off in a quick turn with flipper up and were about 10 meters from us. We could smell their breath.

Being in the midst of a raft of swimming penguins on board a RIB and having a leopard seal surface next to the same!

9.5 put of 10 Great excursions with a blue sky day on a zodiac near ice bergs and whales the highlight. People on the boat a good mix and we found a like minded 8 which we largely shared the adventure with. Surprise was the intensity of the trip... 3/4 full days.

As we traveled through the Drake Passage, icebergs started to appear and we knew we were close. Nothing could have prepared us for the astonishing beauty of Antarctica. It the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.

One morning in particular stands out. It was a cooler morning zodiac cruise expedition, where I got to observe juvenile penguins get the zoomies around and on and off an iceberg. For the full circle of life experience, I also got to witness a leopard seal hunting a penguin. Once back on the boat I hopped into the hot tub to warm up, shortly after I got into the hot tub I saw a humpback whale breach a little ways off the boat. It was a surreal morning.

Very difficult to choose just one as everyday was filled with once in a lifetime great memories. I would say stepping of the zodiac onto the Antarctic the very first time would be my choice of the very best. But truly every day and all the expeditions were fabulous, memorable, different, and once in a lifetime events.

The highlight was seeing hundreds of thousands of king penguins in South Georgia. The glaciers and icebergs were breathtaking. Was wonderful to see whales, but I most enjoyed the many and playful fur seals. Great group of fellow travelers. Very enjoyable to get to know people from other countries. No surprises.

Too many to count. Kayaking through pieces of ice that had seals resting on them. Watching penguins. Having so many scientists and highly skilled experts on board to hear from and talk to. Learned so much from them as well as the trip itself. Appreciated the inclusion of lectures and information about glaciology, wildlife, climate change, sustainability, and what we can do. Before beginning our voyage, we purchased carbon offsets for this trip from Cool Effect (one of many that seem high rated and well-monitored).

Hearing and then seeing a glacier break off from the zodiac we were in near shore and then leaving with the boat driver immediately so as not to be caught up in a swell.

It was amazing. The wildlife was endless and the highlight was probably seeing 30 whales bubble feeding right in front of our zodiacs. The staff were brilliant - so helpful, informative and nice. Met some wonderful people who we will keep in touch with! Loved the whole thing. The only shame was the cyclone which stopped us going down the Weddell sea which I had been so excited about - a real disappointment but staff did all they could to make the time on the ship great.
