Amazing Antarctica, etc. -- Antarctica (4 of 4)

We returned to the Antarctic region in November & December 2024. This 10-minute video highlights our landing on Jougla Point (which is on an island next to Port Lockroy), our stop at Port Lockroy (site of the building which houses the world's southern most post office, the store, the museum, and the Gentoo penguins surrounding the building), and our cruise through the Lemaire Channel (it is considered one of the most scenic spots in Antarctica).

Amazing Antarctica, etc. -- Antarctica (3 of 4)

We returned to the Antarctic region in November & December 2024. This 6-minute video highlights our Zodiac cruising in Foyn Harbour (while being told of the whale-oil tanker ship, Gouvernøren, which was run aground by its captain after it had caught fire in 1915). The iceberg formations in Foyn Harbour were stunning. Also, on our ship, the Ocean Albatros, we did a night-time cruise through the amazingly scenic Neumayer Channel).
