There were many, clearing the Drake Passage, making the first landing on Antarctica, seeing just all the beautiful snow capped scenes, and the connection with fellow travelers on a ship the size of the Ocean Albotrsoe were equally life memory moments.

Zodiac trip to shore to walk among the huge number of penguins , seals, elephant seals and traveling past several whales. The ice covered areas were like visiting another planet. Nothing like it anywhere else, not even Alaska. This was a very special place.

We had a humpback whale come right up beside our zodiac where it stayed for about half an hour! It was so playful and curious, skyhopping to see what was going on and swimming around genuinely like it was playing with us. It was incredible!

So many. The landscape, the silence, the icebergs, the glaciers, being so close to so many penguins, walking on the Antarctic continent. But the final afternoon seeing so many whales from the balcony and then in a zodiac being surrounded by whales that we didn't know which way to look.

Seeing the icebergs for the first time and seeing penguins! Seeing orcas and a breaching humpback whale was also memorable, too many things to pick from! But I think mostly waking up to our first day in Antarctica and realising we had made it by seeing the snow!
