Our great expedition - The Antarctic - a snap shot



Hi followers

For the last ten days Ross and I have been through some life changing experiences. Leaving Ushuaia, South America and sailing down through the Beagle Channel to Drake's Passage - the roughest stretch of water in the world - yep, pretty rough and our stomachs can prove it - However, it was well worth the two day's of sickness to finally arrive in the South Pole in our very courageous scientific boat named the Professor Molchanov , with a Russian crew.

So many tales, so many experiences that this blog certainly won't be able to reflect the sights, sounds and smells of a truly magical place. Magic on the outside riding in Zodiac boats to the shore, walking up snow covered hills and mingling at a safe distance with penguins, whale and seals.

You're just going to have to come to our slide show for a lot more but the photos above will give you a taste of what we experienced.
