Mary Jo Scott

(Grigory Mikheev, Feb 2008)

Small ship expeditions are really the only way to really see Antarctica. We had so much fun even when the weather was not cooperating. When you are in a zodiac with about 7 other people and sail around the bergs, it really conveys the vast white wilderness that is Antarctica. There is no better experience than having a Humpback or Minke Whale swim right below the small zodiac you are in, and then it surfaces feet away from you so that a wide angle lens gets the best shot. You cannot get this from a large ship. Also, visiting research stations is so much fun for all involved. A load of people would detract from the experience. We were so glad to be on a ship like the Grigory Mikheev where everyone gets to know everyone and such wonderful adventures can be had. I hope one day to return to Antarctica but first hope to explore the Arctic on a similar ship. Thanks to all at Adventure life that helped us arrange everything just as we dreamed!
