Awesome, incredible, beautiful, breathtaking, stunning, magnificent, striking…… One cannot find enough words, or better said the right words to describe Antarctica. One of the most beautiful and memorable places I have stepped foot on so far. And one of the reason why this travel blog entry is so late is that I simply had to digest this adventure for a long time as it is truly one of the most ... Read Full Entry

Well, I am just a normal male who likes a bit of adventure. To get out of the day-to-day trot and have a bit of fun. Born in Germany and living in OZ since 1987, I am very interested and involved in international politics. I am politically neither left nor right, and generally against labeling a persons political beliefs. I like my life, have great kids, and some of the best friends a human can have. And I like traveling, and that is what this blog is all about. Having stepped foot on all 7 continents, my goal is to have visited 100 countries before my body decides to pack it in........ ... full info

Hi Welf Great blog with great comments and photos. Hope that you are having a good time in Brazil. After Ushuaia, we traveled north passing through Puerto Natales, El Calafate and is now in El Chalten. We did heaps of walks and the sceneries are truly amazing. We will leave for Los Antiguos tomorrow working our way to Santiago. Keep in touch. We currently have rather slow internet connection. We'll contact you further when we have better internet connection. Safe travel. Geoff and Pauline

An amazing land
In 1990, I worked 5 months in Antarctica so I'm always drawn to blog from the land of ice. Great stuff. Love your adventure.

Thank you for your comment and lucky you having had the chance to work in Antarctica. When we visited Pslmer Station it was an eye opener on how they worked and lived there. Amazing stuff. To be honest I don't know if I could do it. Have fun with your travel plans. Sounds like you are living a full life. Good on you......

Welf, Exciting, invigorating photography! I'm surprised how much "warmth" you have been able to capture in Antarctica. And, congratulations on your Blogger of the Week award. Alles Gute, Monique

Icy adventures
One of my dream destinations......Loved reading this, your excitement is obvious. You didn't mention which company you booked through. Would be interested to know, for my own future reference. Did you book before arriving there?

Hi Joe Yes a great adventure it was. I booked through an Australian company that is a reseller. The main organiser was GAdventure and I can tell you they are a great and professional outfit. The Poole are simply awesome. There are last minute tickets for sale in Ushuaia for about US$4000 so you can save a lot of money. But that means you have to be flexible with flying or spend time there. But it is worth it. Best move I ever made going to Antarctica.....
