I would like to share some photographs from my recent journey to Antarctica. It was a truly once in a lifetime experience, though I’d be happy to go back there any time.

I’ve traveled to quite a number of countries and places and none of them left me speechless.  There, many times I’ve found myself just sitting and admiring the beauty of this place. I just have no words to describe it. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF!!

All the wildlife was right there,with penguins walking around just a few feet away.

And I even had a chance to take a swim in the ocean twice during the trip (last picture of this set…)!

It wasn’t the easiest trip for me. I had a tooth infection that started a few days after we arrived there. On the ship we only had a doctor who didn’t know that much about dentistry.  I was on codeine tablets and getting morphine and penicillin shots for the infection and excruciating pain.

That didn’t stop me from all the fun and activities!   Once we were back to Ushuaia late in the evening, I was taken to the dentist who performed a root canal($290 including emergency fee,taxi,translator).

 

It took me 2 days to narrow 370 images from this trip to my favorite 75.  Enjoy and I hope these photographs will persuade you to put this place on your bucket list
