Oustanding

by Jesse Staines

Departure in March 2019

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Circle

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Highlights: Antarctic Fur Seal, Adelie Penguin

This trip was everything as advertised and more. The first morning we arrived in Antarctica we had Humpback Whales breaching next to the ship, and the 2 landings that day I had penguins coming right up to me, curious as to who I was and what I was doing there. If after that first day they would have told us we had to go back, I would not have had any complaints at all. But we had 8 more days of activities and adventures beyond that! I had pleasure overload the whole time. Will recommend to anyone.
