After a smooth flight from Buenos Aires we boarded a boat in Ushuaia (Argentina) at the tip of South America, bound for Antarctica by way of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island (where we spent Christmas). We saw a few penguins on the Falklands while taking an off-road tour and had a couple of landings in the smaller Zodiac boats on South Georgia where we saw LOTS of penguins and seals. Also got to experience snow, hail, wind and rain. Santa saw us off in the Falklands and greeted us in South Georgia. He’s thinner down south and speaks with an accent. The boat was really nice but we couldn’t wait to get to Antarctica.
