I was fortunately able to go on an awesome expedition cruise to the South Georgia & Falkland
Islands from Oct 26th-Nov 9th, 2016. This was
on Lindblad's National Geographic Explorer which is one sweet ship!
In 1997, my wife Wendy had gone (solo) wayyyy down South on the "original" Explorer. In 2009, I did a similar triangle trip of the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica. It was really cool to visit this amazing part of the world and this time do it with my spouse!

March of the Penguins ... and more Penguins, Penguins, Penguins!
This was paradise for bird lovers!

JanetM took this very creative picture at Stromness - a toast to Shackleton! ;-)
