NOTES FROM THE ROAD…
The majestic beauty of Antarctica cannot be compared to anywhere else on this Earth. There really is nothing like the feeling of setting eyes on landscapes that very few humans have ever seen, listening to the grumblings of thousand-meter-thick glaciers as they power their way down steep coasting mountainsides, or sharing a snowy beach with an endless colony of charismatic penguins. Inducing a mystic state of awe the otherworldly silence of these regions is only briefly disturbed by the cracking of a glacier or the breath of a humpback whale. Standing on Salisbury Plain, on the island of South Georgia, you are deafened by King Penguins squawking in numbers up to 500,000 strong. Now, after my journey there, If I was given the opportunity to visit any place on Earth, just once, the choice would be easy – the island of South Georgia. Having only recently returned, there are no words to say how much I loved the majestic beauty of Antarctica. A truly extraordinary experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
