Visiting the Antarctic, with all its Antarctic Blue Ice, was the most exciting and memorable trip I have ever taken. In fact nothing for me has topped it. There is something so magical and exciting about crossing the Drake Passage with its enormous waves making your cruise boat bob like a cork, seeing your first huge 150 foot high iceberg go floating by, and then there is the vastness of it all. This part of the world is so remote (in reality, very few people travel there because if its remoteness) you will feel alone, and you will realize how small you actually are in this world. Thankfully, our cruise ship has plenty of fabulous food and wine :).
The snow capped mountains, the deep blue sea and the very many shades of blue ice will all leave an indelible impression on you. Then there are the shapes of the icebergs. No two are alike, and in fact they are all so different, it keeps you in awe as to how they are all made. Add to that the wildlife, especially the various species of penguins that you can get up close and personal with, and you have the makings of one heck of an adventure.
In this image it was early morning, and we were making our first approach to the Antarctic Peninsula. It was a special morning, with coffee in hand I was standing on the bow of the ship, to watch the vast approaching shores of the Antarctic as they unfolded before me. The snow covered mountains reaching up to 3, 00 to 4,000 feet can be seen in the distance, and in the foreground a lone zodiac boat which is approaching the shore. This image really brings home the sense of being alone and away from the maddening crowd of a big city. The Antarctic is truly unique and needs to be seen to be believed.
