Arctic Travel Photo Collection

My daughters, Katy and Becca and I visited the 7th continent for Christmas break on our Antarctica trip.

Trip below the Antarctic circle on board the Ioffe with kayak option.

Photos from our voyage aboard the MV Ushuaia to the Antarctic Peninsula. An absolutely fantastic trip, once in a lifetime aqdventure.

Our trip to Antarctica aboard the Quark Ship Ocean Diamond.

We flew across the Drake Passage from Rio Gallegos, Argentina to King George Island and cruised on the Ocean Nova for 4 days before flying back to Punta Arenas, Chile

\'\'Antarctica? Why?\'\' \'\'Antarctica? Wow!\'\' Those were the two most common responses from family, friends and colleagues when they learned I was off to the frozen continent for the holidays. I stepped on the Antarctic continent twice: my journey through ice, wind and stormy weather a glorious one. John Steinbeck said it best: \'\'. . .we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.\'\'

A trip beyond expectations, seven friends set out to cruise the southern seas.

Gentoo penguins, king penguins, adele penguins, chinstrap penguins, rockhopper penguins, Orca whales, fur seals, elephant seals, weddell seals, crabeater seals, birds, and more!

Awe -- \"an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear, etc., produced by that which is grand, sublime, extremely powerful, or the like.\" Yep, that sums up my ~3 weeks in and around Antarctica. Always at the top of my must-do list, I decided to stop talking about it and start living it! The following journal recounts my incredible journey. I hope it inspires you to take that leap!

Beau Pinkerton and I just finished a cruise thru the NW Passage from W. Greenland to Kugluktuk, Nunavut above Alberta in Sept 2012. The crew and staff were fantastic, the food \'\'off the chart\'\', and the trips ashore to see wildlife and visiting Inuit villages excellent and well planned. I had a blast visiting remote islands, villages, exploration sites and just cruising the remote straits, gulfs and inlets. Overall, Clayton, Brad and his team did an outstanding job on this incredible adventure.

An awesome adventure to one of the only places in the world where as a human you feel truly insignificant...

Beth, Renee and Julia spend two weeks that they will never forget in beautiful, enchanting, surprising, wild Antarctica

Some memories from the Finnish group that had the chance to see the beautiful wildlife of the Antarctic aboard the beautiful ship Silver Explorer.
