Seeing a penguin CITY. Tens of thousands of penguins. So much going on at the same time. It's an entire society.

The complete journey was fantastic. Every day would reveal yet more wonders of the cold continent. Words cannot describe what your eyes see. No camera can capture the experience. You name it we saw it - no polar bears though. (people back home kept asking) There was not one negative about the "experience". People from 15 to 89, from every walks of life added to the expedition. The surprise was the adventure itself, how fantastic it was.

We watched a pod of orcas hunting two penguins in the Gerlache Strait for ten to fifteen minutes. We have long been on the hunt for orcas, and have never seen anything more than a distant dorsal fin. It was an incredible spectacle to watch.

So many. The landscape, the silence, the icebergs, the glaciers, being so close to so many penguins, walking on the Antarctic continent. But the final afternoon seeing so many whales from the balcony and then in a zodiac being surrounded by whales that we didn't know which way to look.

The first time we disembarked in Coureville Island and there they were...thousands of Gentoo Penguins. Everything was a highlight.

Too many so called 'moments' ... zodiac cruising alongside the Drygalski Glacier in the mist and encountering a 'Mary Celeste' lookalike (Heritage A) sitting in the mist was a 'moment' ... but the quality of and frequency of presenters and expedition staff willing to share knowledge and enhance the experience was/is so memorable.

I don't know if I can pick a single moment. The entire trip was wonderful and the staff was great and very knowledgeable in their respective fields. We were able to get farther south of the circle than was anticipated from the beginning and we were able to accomplish all that was expected. There were of course changes in the schedule as Antarctic weather is always changing, but no real negative changes during our trip.

If you have never been there, there is no way of preparing for the impact of being there. The untouched, natural beauty, the mighty icebergs, the silliness of the penguins. You will be spending hours just sitting in one spot adoring the view. Also don't forget: this is not a luxury cruise, this is an expedition.

Nick - kayaking through the icebergs and probably also visiting Deception Island and the sheer size of the icebergs Wendy - going through the iceberg strewn waters in the zodiac with amazing colours particularly the brilliant blue

Crossing the Antarctic Circle, seeing Penguin rookeries, Elephant Seals, pack ice and Ross Sea ice shelf. Storm Force 10 in the roaring forties was dramatic, unfortunately a couple passengers suffered bruised/cracked ribs and a fair number shaken up. The cruise ship "World" was one day behind us during our tour of the Ross Sea. It was a surprise we were not alone but that such a large vessel had sailed so far South. Seem regulations will stiffen in 2018 requiring vessels to be polar strengthened and banning heavy diesel and so this was 'The World' last chance to make such a trip.

There were so many, and lots of emotions being there getting to experience it all, finally. One highlight was our first landing, the weather was good and we got to see our first penguins. Also having a zodiac stop on our final cruise for hot chocolate out on the water was a beautiful end!
