17th Nov - 1st Dec 2023

What was your most memorable moment?

In a zodiac in the midst of giant icebergs. Climbing up Orne . I could go up, I couldn’t go down, petrified. Zach assisted me . Sooo patient Polar plunge Sighting of 1 st iceberg after 2 days Drake Passage. It means we finally made it to Antarctica, our 7th continent Orca whales frolicking around the ship in very close proximity. The kindness and diligent staff. Paid attention to details . Mindful to preserve Antarctica and everything in it.

Something Else?

The Polar Plunge was an adventure of a lifetime for me. I’m 70 and I know I won’t do it again. Social media personnel said everyone’s plunge was captured in photo. I played the USB given to us as souvenir. It was not there. Can I please have a copy of this important memory ? Let me know. martesas@yahoo.com
