What was your most memorable moment?
Too many to tell. The visit to South Georgia was spectacular. The ability to see so many penguins and fur seals in their natural habitat was spectacular. But best of all were the guides. They were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make our trip both enriched and kept us safe.
Which of the following best describes your adventure?

Tell us about the expedition team
David was our Expedition leader. So capable and organized. Great ability to pivot with the weather. Pablo was my favorite with his extensive knowledge of glaciers etc Jeff was new to the team and an expert in plankton and all things such as seals and whales Kirsty was all things penguin Even though we didn't kayak we loved Ewan and Sophie Willy was a great guide and driver and Russlan, the Russian, was the best zodiac driver ever. Ken, our history expert shared his knowledge of Shakleton and many other relevant stories. Anna, the photographer was fantastic, teaching photo tips and put together a great slide show.
Tell us about the Magellan Explorer
Spectacular boat. Great accomodations.
Something Else?
The only low light was the trip to the hotel from the airport The team was disorganized and had us sitting on an un airconditioned bus for 30 minutes with all our polar clothes still on. A kind of downer as the last interaction with Antartctica 21.
Tell us about the wildlife
There is nothing but amazing to say about all of it.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
Don't bring too much. Plus the team suppiles hiking poles so I would not have packed mine.
