Antarctica - Background So, Antarctica....the White Continent....the Seventh Continent, the Cold Continent (I made the last one up)....but more importantly, for me anyway, it would be 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 -... 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!
