Kelly and I have recently returned from what can only be described as the trip of a lifetime. Travelling with PONANT, a French cruising company, we had the opportunity to visit one of the remotest areas on earth, Antarctica and several other islands in that region. We sailed from Ushuaia commonly refered to as "The End of the World" to the Falkland Islands or Maldivas, then to South Georgia, Half Moon Island, Deception Bay, Brown Bluff (Antarctica) the Weddel Sea, the coldest sea on the planet and home to the massive Tabular Icebergs then back to Ushuaia. From there we went back to Buenos Aires and a week in that fantastic city.
Here is a little of what we experienced.
