Oooooh, beautiful! The slate-blue light of these pictures is *amazing* and just gorgeous. I, too, would have tasted some of the snow, and some sea-water, as well. :)
Your blue poncho is....very blue. *snerk*
So much wildlife! It's amazing to think so many animals can live in such an inhospitable place. I'm glad you weren't steam-rollered by a seal and *omg*, the crabeater teeth? Freaky!
Your meal descriptions are making me damn hungry. :)
I am super envious that you got to go here, but thank you for posting all about it so I can sort of vicariously live it.
I'm going to add you so I can read this (and the Galapagos Islands ones when they happen, which I am SUPER JELLY ABOUT).
ALSO. I recognize that red hut from Penguin Watch! If you ever want to help SCIENCE by counting penguins, you will probably see that hut from another angle.
haha, it took me a minute to read that as "click the like button" & not a valley kate all "click, like, all over the place."
if you were in the situation, you'd probably have done as instructed, too. it's not that tough to ...keep your cool in antarctica? *rimshot* i had decent range of movement though, considering how many pants i was wearing.
I know I thank you on most of your travelogues, but I have to do so again. Thank you.
I love watching you explore places that are not gimp accessible, so I'll never be able to go.
It's a damn shame you can't do this for a living.
Your account of you trying to intimidate the seal, well, I'm imagining you, as petite as you are, and well, I laughed. I know it had to be scary, but it must've been thinking, "lunch" when it saw you.
Again, thanks for sharing. I can't wait until your next trip.
