Antarctica - the trip of a lifetime

by tini58de - last update: Feb 4, 2007

I still can't believe I was really there.......

For more than 15 years I have been dreaming about visiting Antarctica -
and in 2003 my dream finally became true:

I went on a fabulous tour along the Chilean fjords, around Cape Hoorn and into Antarctica.

This trip really was THE trip of a lifetime for me and I still can't believe, I was really there.... Looking at the pictures and building this page might help me to realize, that it was not only a film, but reality!

It was truly breathtaking to see the icebergs, penguins (oh, I LOVE them!!!), sea elephants, seals, glaciers and just all of this spectacular landscape.

I do have conflicting feelings, though: on the one hand I would encourage everybody to go there, on the other hand I feel like this part of our earth should be protected and therefore noone should go there...

But I am definitely glad, that I got to see it!

Pros:"unbelievable nature"
Cons:"the more people go, the more it will be in danger"
In A Nutshell:"so glad I got to see it!"

 Wow! Fascinating pages!! Maybe someday...I have to get my head around the seasickness. I had 5 days of it in the Galapagos !!

 My husband had a call yesterday from a Russian who was a scientist on the ice when my husband was stationed there in the 60's. Wow! The Old Antarctic Explorers are digging them out one by one.
