Each trip south has been gloriously spectacular – there’s
nothing like seeing icebergs, penguins and glacier covered mountains first
hand. But it’s the FEEL of
Antarctica that keeps me coming back – every sight inspires deep awe and each breath
grants the richest sense of being truly alive.
To top it all off, our science team and ship crew was the
best yet in so many ways – ridiculously playful and free, while also being hard
working and solidly robust.
Our dynamic was electric. Working on a boat together 24/7 while
experiencing frightful weather and breathtaking scenery lets social boundaries
and barriers fall like nothing else.
All that’s left is our core personality – so refreshing. Within days
deep bonds form. From this trip I know some of them will prove lifelong.
