Yosemite & Point Reyes
2021
This journey to Antarctica was a dream realized, an expedition to the southernmost reaches of our planet. From the Drake Passage’s relentless waves to the towering icebergs of the Antarctic Peninsula, every moment was a testament to the raw, unspoiled beauty of this frozen world. Our adventure began aboard the Explorer, navigating through surreal landscapes of shimmering glaciers, dramatic mountain ranges, and vast expanses of ice.
We encountered breathtaking wildlife—penguins waddling ashore, seals basking on ice floes, and whales breaching against a backdrop of endless white. Each landing brought its own magic, whether exploring historic research stations, witnessing the playfulness of fur seals, or standing in awe before jagged cliffs carved by time.
The Antarctic’s weather was as unpredictable as its wonders, offering moments of serene stillness punctuated by fierce winds and snow. This stark, untamed environment left a profound impression—its beauty both humbling and inspiring. Our days were filled with discovery, laughter, and a shared sense of wonder with fellow travelers.
Antarctica wasn’t just a destination; it was a reminder of nature’s grandeur and fragility. I hope these images transport you to the icy expanse that forever holds a piece of my heart.
