For the first part of the trip, we left Ushuaia, Argentina, crossed the Drake Passage, and then made a series of landings at different places along the Antarctic Peninsula and the mainland. Two unexpected highlights of the trip included crossing the Antarctic Circle, and a deep penetration into the Antarctic Sound at the northern end of the Peninsula (until blocked by icebergs). The galleries here pretty much follow the itinerary of the trip with the exception of the last 3, which are kind of topical in nature. Enjoy!!
