Antarctica - Background So, Antarctica....the White Continent....the Seventh Continent (depending on which classification you use).....but more importantly (for me anyway) my home for the next 11 days. But what can I tell you about the place to kick things off? Well: -Over 99% of Antarctica is covered with ice, which equates to approx 90% of world's fresh water -It holds recor... Read Full Entry

Amazing?
Why is everyone saying how amazing it is? I mean it looks alright? Nothin to go on about or anythin, few pics of penguins? Sur I could find them in a magazine? How do we know thats not what you've done? And all the while you're in Spain or somewhere chilling with a nice cool cocktail maybe its the colour of the antartic and has got some ice in it? lol

Costs and stuff
Roberta, glad u enjoyed reading it. For prices just do a google search for 'MV Ushuaia' I did and got the following, altho I didn't book thro them. http://www.alvoyages.com/ships/mv-ushuaia/118/itineraries.html Also a big factor is your country's exchange rate with USD when you book it as it makes a difference with these sort of figures. Hope this helps!

Holy cow, this looks really familiar!
I was searching for Antarctica photos on the web and found your trip, and this photo looked awfully familiar. Here are two photos I took: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66248512@N00/5032243744/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/66248512@N00/5031625391/in/photostream/ Mine are the exact same iceberg! Your photo is taken (I think?) March 13th, 2009 - mine are taken the day before. I was on a 12-person sailboat - we hung out at Pleneau Island for about 3 days observing penguins, leopard seals, and icebergs. It's a small world!
