After about 30 hours of travel and layovers I’m home. And exhausted.
My apologies for bringing the snow with me. Apologies also for the lack of updates – I did try to send two updates via email from the ship, but they don’t seem to have arrived.
Suffice it to say that the trip was absolutely amazing and I accomplished my goal of setting foot on the continent. Multiple times in fact. I can’t wait to share my stories and pictures and videos with everyone.
Here’s a picture of me on the Orlova in the Lemaire Channel and a quote that our expedition leader Kara Weller shared with us on the final night of our trip.
If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it.
