There were so many memorable moments but one was the Minke Whale that played between our zodiacs. You could touch it but we didn’t of course. This happened on our first day in Antarctica.

The ship's crew was the highlight of the trip for us, they were simply magnificent. While it was good to go and see Antarctica, once was enough for us there. The surprise was how desolate it was. Very austere and lonely.

Sitting at Brown Bluff, away from the trail, listening to the wind and water and animals and feeling like the only person on the continent. It was a moment I will never forget.

Our first landing in South Georgia when the king penguins just walked up and greeted us on the beach. It still makes me grin and tear up to think of it!

Very hard to pick one but maybe the hike on Petermann island, surrounded by so many penguins

The kayaking was the best and most memorable part of my Antarctica trip. The ability to paddle up to the wildlife and landscape with little to no disruption was wonderful!

Paddling in Fournier Bay surrounded by humpback whales. There were blows everywhere. There were whales trumpeting. Two sleeping whales floated to the raft of kayaks and then veered off in a quick turn with flipper up and were about 10 meters from us. We could smell their breath.

Being in the midst of a raft of swimming penguins on board a RIB and having a leopard seal surface next to the same!

Very difficult to choose just one as everyday was filled with once in a lifetime great memories. I would say stepping of the zodiac onto the Antarctic the very first time would be my choice of the very best. But truly every day and all the expeditions were fabulous, memorable, different, and once in a lifetime events.

The highlight was seeing hundreds of thousands of king penguins in South Georgia. The glaciers and icebergs were breathtaking. Was wonderful to see whales, but I most enjoyed the many and playful fur seals. Great group of fellow travelers. Very enjoyable to get to know people from other countries. No surprises.

Too many to count. Kayaking through pieces of ice that had seals resting on them. Watching penguins. Having so many scientists and highly skilled experts on board to hear from and talk to. Learned so much from them as well as the trip itself. Appreciated the inclusion of lectures and information about glaciology, wildlife, climate change, sustainability, and what we can do. Before beginning our voyage, we purchased carbon offsets for this trip from Cool Effect (one of many that seem high rated and well-monitored).

It was amazing. The wildlife was endless and the highlight was probably seeing 30 whales bubble feeding right in front of our zodiacs. The staff were brilliant - so helpful, informative and nice. Met some wonderful people who we will keep in touch with! Loved the whole thing. The only shame was the cyclone which stopped us going down the Weddell sea which I had been so excited about - a real disappointment but staff did all they could to make the time on the ship great.

4 whales were feeding right around our kayaks. The weather was sunny and the scenery was beyond beautiful. I literally cried it was so amazing.

I don't know how to summarize what was the most magical adventure that I have ever experienced. The Hebridean Sky was a gem of a ship, and I felt like royalty. The service on the ship, the extensive knowledge of the crew, expedition leaders and scientists were were superb. We were incredibly blessed with 2 full days of glorious sunshine and unprecedented weather conditions which allowed us more landings than most of the cruises usually get to do. The landscapes and wildlife were spectacular. I met new lifelong friends that I will travel with again in the future. Favorite moment- Finding a chunk of 30,000 year old "Black Ice" and getting to taste it, and later on, it was the ice used in our cocktails!

Climbing the hill at the first landing on the Antarctic peninsula and turning around and seeing the ship sitting in the bay and understanding the time and effort required just to get there. It was so alien, it felt like I was standing on the moon.
