We've enjoyed Lindblad trips to Svalbard and Alaska, and are planning an Antarctic trip as soon as we can induce the kids to grow up and go to college. This gallery is a fine intro to what's in store - the opening penguin shots on S Georgia are particularly exciting, with many others to boot. Thanks for posting these. - Rich Miller, Ann Arbor

Wow Jean, looks like that was a fantastic voyage. You did an excellent job with your photos. So many beautiful images, and a good job of storytelling too. I'm so glad we were all able to enjoy the journey together.

Great pictures of Paradise Harbour. I shall have to save my shekels for this one. Antarctica has never been on my radar screen but it is now.
