"The Many Faces of Antarctica" a Antarctica Travel Page by tampa_shawn

Antarctica is by far the most amazing place I have ever been. Nothing else I have seen or done even comes close.

I have come to the realization that pictures and words can in no way come close to describing the magnificence that is Antarctica. Maybe saying that "I have seen Heaven" or maybe "what God can create when He is at His very best" may come close.....

Imagine that your standing on the street in New York City, with skyscrapers all around you.... Then imagine you are on a boat, the "pavement" is a dark blue clear sea, penguins are flying below you (for penguins look like they are flying when they are swimming under the water).... they occasionally leap out of the water out of shear joy of being there (much like a dolphin). The "sky scrapers" towering overhead are clear blue, green, purple and white ice. They tower above you and constantly change shape and color as the boat moves along - that is Antarctica.

The Animals….Macaroni Penguins

They call this little guy a Macaroni Penguin…because with his colorful feathers he’s just a tad overdressed for the party….

”Stuck a feather in cap and called it Macaroni…”
