Crossing the Circle: Southern Expedition
The night with the perfect light, cruising through channels; Nesting penguins and the iceberg graveyard.
Crossing the Circle
It was an extraordinary opportunity to visit places under the polar circle, places seldom seen by human beings. A close experience with Nature in the last virgin place on planet Earth.
Crossing the Antarctic Circle
Crossing the Drake passage: the feeling to be part of the mariner's world! Crossing the circle: icebergs in the mist, a fairy world Penguins colonies: the strength to be two of us
