    Sue's & Linda's great adventure In 2005, when Linda and I went to Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti, we realized #1 on both our bucket lists was Antarctica. We finally realized our dream in 2017 and have now visited all 7 continents.

    This wasn't the coldest day, that was when we were taking photos of the glaciers in Chile; however, it certainly wasn't warm, either. Views[190] Views[210] Storm on the way. Thank heavens for radar. Views[186] I thought the spiral shape of this iceberg was unusual. Views[232] A better view of the sailboat. Views[223]
     
    Views[155] This first iceberg was only a minor preview of what was to come. We saw it just before our first glimpses of Antarctica. Views[114] This is actually all one iceberg. The middle is just below water, which is why they're so dangerous. Views[145] I found this iceberg very beautiful and unusual. It was my favorite. Views[115] Views[121]
     
    The little black dots on the lower right of the iceberg are penguins! Views[129] Linda in Antarctica. Views[123] Views[142] What in the world was that sailboat thinking? out in the middle of nowhere. At least it's summer: 31 degrees. Views[154] Views[121]
     
    I had to put one of the photos from the 27th last because it was so beautiful. I didn't want to end on the stormy day. Views[82] Views[82] I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Undeniably beautiful. Like nothing I've ever seen before. Views[103] Views[79] Because the nights were only about 2-3 hours long, we had a lot of photo opportunities. Views[119]
     
    This is a Cape Petrel. They weigh about a pound and have a wingspan of about 33 inches. I took this out the window of our room. Views[91] Views[118] The life of this penguin looks cold and lonely. Views[94] The seas are starting to change. Views[100] Views[143]

    Close-up of ice floes. Views[140] Taken from the rear of the ship. Views[148] Views[125] A ring of ice floes. Views[155] Views[109]
     
    Views[110] Views[133] The sun came and went within minutes, allowing us to get a variety of views of this wonderful land. Views[132] Views[135] Views[119]
     
    We saw lots of ice floes. The different ice forms are divided into categories: Icebergs, bergy bits, growlers and brash ice. Views[118] Views[124] Note the floes in the foreground. The neat thing about our trip was that about 14 scientists, chef, logistics personnel from Palmer station came on board and we could ask questions. Views[121] I loved the varying colors of the water in this photo. Views[117] Close-up. Views[119]
