Anyway, just out of curiosity, this is a pure leisure trip? What makes you wanna tour Antarctica?
Hi guys,
Some more old slides that I just scanned to the computer. These are from my 1997 Antarctica trip.
The above was taken at half moon island, our first continental landing on the Antarctica penisular. The chin strap penguins were the first (and actually the only) residents to welcome us. Our Russian expedition cruiser can be seen in the background and we used the zodiacs to get around.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

You'll be surprised. It's actually quite noisy amongst the penguin colony and when the ice shelves "moan and groan".
Anyway, here's a pair of snowy sheathbill...

I always thought the groaning sounds were sound effects added into the documentaries... Interesting...

Quite being the main word... ITs probably only SEEMS noisy because its sooo quiet amongst everything else.. i guess noisyness is comparatively mentioned.
Still i rather take penguin chatter and the love making of ice shelves anyday over cars, soot, flashy lights and noisy HUMANS.. ergh!!
That I'll agree with you totally. Here's a picture of the noise makers return home from the sea in the setting sun.Quite being the main word..

Never create what you can't control
Way cool... fantastic...
Benny, how deep is that hole in your pocket? How many days did you spend there?
No pocket. There's a big hole there instead.
It was a sponsored trip by the organisers. I was there to take pictures for them. Ex Singapore was 18 days. Ex port of ushaia was 10 days.

Wow... sponsored?!?!?
Sounds very much like a tour package that I have read, 18 days as well... via Buenos Aires? The cost is like +-S$15K... *faint*
Benny, first pic seems to have a bluish cast or is it actual?
the "moan and groan" is caused by the ice pack movements, if not wrong.
