I just got back from Antarctica. It was life changing.
Antarctica Expedition: A Transformative 10 Days Below the Southern Ocean
I recently returned from a comprehensive expedition to Antarctica, an experience that left a lasting impression on my perspective and appreciation for our planet. The journey was organized in collaboration with Lindblad Expeditions in partnership with National Geographic, and I cannot speak highly enough of it.
The voyage covered a remarkable arc, reaching latitudes down to 70°S on a 10-day itinerary that departed from Ushuaia, Argentina. Highlights included proximity to some of the continent’s most storied locales and research-focused sites:
- Pourquoi Pas Island
- Cape Calmette
- 70° South
- Stonington Island
- Adelaide Passage
- Fish Island
- Etienne Bay
- Brown University/Research Station
All images were captured with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, with no post-processing or color adjustments.
If you’re considering an Antarctic expedition, this trip exemplifies how immersive and transformative such journeys can be—combining expert-led exploration, pristine landscapes, and opportunities to witness extraordinary wildlife and climate in action.
