"Less than a hundred years ago Antarctica still awaited the sound of a human voice, the imprint of a human boot. Two hundred years ago no human eye had looked upon it. Antarctica was the object only of speculation which had absorbed philosophers and geographers alike since Aristotle first postulated the existence of a southern continent." Edwin Mickleburgh, in Beyond the Frozen Sea. My latest journey has taken me to this amazing destination. At times surrounded 360 degrees by the most unbelievable sights and colors~far to much to take in. I hope you enjoy the pictures of the majestic glaciers, snow covered islands, icebergs of amazing shapes and colors and the many "comedic" penguins along the way. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Santiago
, Chile was the starting destination of our trip. It sits between the
Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountain range. Santiago is the capitol of
Chile with a population over 11 million people. It has been devastated
many times by earthquakes and quickly rebuilt. We discovered that very
little English is spoken or understood.
