My visit to Antarctica in Dec2007/Jan 2008 was the realisation of a lifetime dream and one which far exceeded my expectations.
I have selected photos which show the changing moods of the Antarctic during our journey, from threatening snow filled clouds to bright blue skies and sparkling iceburgs.
What will I always remember?
The range of the climate we experienced; the wonderful colours...people tend to think it's all white...far from it, the gracious, proud and yet often comical penguins; the stillness in some places; the unbelievable noise of displaying penguins in others.
I felt priviledged to be in what truly is the world's last wilderness. I remember on our first landing at Deception Island that my eyes filled with tears at the beauty of it all.
This trip has had a huge impact on me. Even now , two months after our return, I think about it almost every day.
In April I have organised a reunion with another couple on our trip, to share our experience again with our photos, movies and memories.
