That’s a Wrap

Well this was one amazing trip and one we would so much recommend. Let’s start with the trip maps.

Logs were kept on a daily basis and included in the information sent to us post trip.

Here we are about to board the Ocean Endeavour back in December 21st.

We could be in one of the zodiacs looking at the Magellanic penguins on the Falkland Islands. Photo by Michelle Sole.

The two Cheryl’s at Shag Rocks. Picture by Michelle Sole.
We’re not on this zodiac but a great shot by Michelle of a surf landing.
We’re on this one. You’ll spot Garrie fairly easily on the right and I am hidden next to him. Picture is again Michelle’s.
Another shot by Michelle that I just loved.
No one’s name on this one but what a great shot of this leopard seal’s teeth.
Another great pic with snow as well but no name. It’s a cape petrel.
The two of us by the other Cheryl.
We missed this moment. I think it is a Peale’s dolphin but how special. No name attached.
Just the shear amazement of being with so many penguins.
Tori’s great pic of a pipit on the Falklands.
Again no photographer name but a great shot of a group being briefed by Solan having just landed by zodiac.
What a magical pic of what we experienced.
Action shot by Sergei Fedorov

Too many magical moments to pick just one. The seven different types of penguins, the multiple seals, the ice bergs, it was simply all so amazing. A couple of my favourite pics.

We would recommend this trip so much but please include the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and if you want to check out Quark Expeditions you now have the link.

This is a great article sent to me by a friend (thanks Colette) on photography in Antarctic and also talks about a photography series on Netflix. https://digital-photography-school.com/antarctica-special-guest-peter-eastway/

So what comes next? Well at this point the next major trip is a river cruise in Russia, Moscow to St Petersburg with my good friend Debbie in August so no beers of the day as Garrie won’t be there, (he isn’t a fan of Russia and I am a fill in as Deb’s husband didn’t want to go either), but if you have seen our bike riding blog , (written on what is now ancient technology), you will know Deb and I know a bit about fun too! Join us then.

  3. Just managed to catch up with your last three blogs having been on the Central Coast in the middle of a 3 day power outage – no phones no tablets just the gentle art of conversation by candlelight. Thoroughly enjoyed this blog particularly your comprehensive info on the Falklands, great photos will look at them all again in more detail. Where are we off to next?

  5. By chance I saw your blog about this wonderful trip. Great pictures! I made almost the same one a couple of years ago (rolandmuis.wordpress.com – but you won’t understand much of it, since it’s in Dutch) and it brought back a lot of memories. I will come back to this blog to read more of your stories.
