M.S.Andrea Antarctic Cruise

view full screen slideshow
by: Les Moore
These are photos from our amazing trip on MS Andrea to the Antarctic Peninsula. In nearly 40 years of traveling, covering more than 50 countries, nothing we had seen or done before matched this experience! The photos really don't need much explanation - they are mostly of the spectacular wildlife, icebergs and glaciers encountered on the trip
