Tell us about the wildlife

We saw a lot of penguin activity, nest building and mating. We also saw a number of seals and a few jump backed whales. It was early season so we saw what we expected.

Tell us about the expedition team

The expedition team was truly top notch. We chose kayaking and felt that Peter, Russell and Ivan were stellar guides and really made the trip special.

Tell us about the Greg Mortimer

The ship was clearly extremely well designed in every way. The Mud Room was an ideal design for efficiently moving skiers, snow shoers, Zodiacers, and especially kayakers. The X-bow design really lived up to its stability reputation.

Tell us about Zodiac excursions

We only did a few zodiac excursions, but they were managed extremely well and always went to interesting places where we saw lots of great ice and wild life.
