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.
