I had the privilege of travelling to Antarctica last winter on board the expedition ship Explorer. The trip was organized by GAP Adventures (www.gapadventures.com).
Antarctica is a really special place. Not only does it have amazing natural beauty and wildlife, but because it doesn't belong to any country, it has (so far) escaped the nasty violence that's always plagued the rest of the world.
It is a peaceful, quiet, frozen continent, where penguins, seals, whales and birds live undisturbed (well, almost). ;-)
I will be adding more pictures and tips over the next few days, so do come back! |

Wonderful page and pictures.I love the penguins.Thanks for this refreshingly different travel page here on VT. | Anita_Porec Thu May 10, 2007 10:34 UTC hello! Just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful time on the Explorer !! Everything was great...even Drake's passage it seems... | RickinDutch Wed Feb 14, 2007 18:52 UTC Reread your adventure. Some day we'll go as well. Whales are hard to photograph well. Have many photos of swirling water to prove it. Birthday greetings from Alaska! | Nemorino Fri Jan 12, 2007 00:04 UTC Oh oh, I tend to get seasick, too. But it might even be worth it to have such an adventure. |
