Zodiac trip to shore to walk among the huge number of penguins , seals, elephant seals and traveling past several whales. The ice covered areas were like visiting another planet. Nothing like it anywhere else, not even Alaska. This was a very special place.

This is the one of the most difficult questions to answer because there were so many unforgettable moments, but I will mention the first day we arrived in Antarctica after crossing the Antarctic circle. It was snowing heavily and we went out on the Zodiac among ice slabs sorrounded by icebergs, we saw our first seals, whales, and of course, penguins. A typical Antarctic day.

So many. Seeing the whales in Wilhelmina Bay in the Antarctica Peninsula was way up there. Or the first fin whales (3-500 of them) at Elephant Island. Or St. Andrew's Bay in S. Georgia Island. Or just the ever-present landscapes of every shade of white, gray, an into blue.

The entire team at Swoop/Lindbald and everyone onboard Nat Geo Explorer were phenomenal in curating this once in a lifetime experience! I would go again...in a heartbeat! Thank you The most inhospitable place on Earth—bleak, frozen, and stretching endlessly in every direction. A landscape of white and blue, ice and snow blending into an endless horizon. And yet, it overflows with life, beauty, and quiet wonder. I’ve read about this seventh continent, studied it, watched documentaries, absorbed every story I could find. But nothing compares to being here. No image or film can prepare you for the immensity, the stillness, the deep calm that settles within. If I could bottle this feeling and share it, I would. Words and photographs fall short of capturing its true spirit. I’ve always been drawn to awe—to the raw openness of nature and the spaces that make you feel both small and expansive at once. Here, silence is not emptiness; it is presence. In a world overflowing with noise, this quiet feels powerful and rare. Places that appear barren—deserts, ice fields, vast empty stretches—are often the most alive. They ask you to slow down, to notice, to feel. I am here, standing in the stillness and smiling 😊
