Explorers' Quest
The first highlight of this trip is to see many interesting wildlives I've ever seen before eg. various kinds of Penguins, different kind of Seals eg. Huge Elephant Seals, Fur Seals, Leopard, Weddell, and Crabeater Seals,many species of Whales, and Albatross. The second highlight of course is to see the beauty of different colours and figures of Ice and Icebergs. The third unexpected impressive highlight for me is to hike to the top of the hills and be able to see the superb top view sceneries.

I've wanted to visit Antarctica for awhile, but never thought I would want to go more than once. Now, four months later, I'm still on a "high" and can't wait to go back again!
Voyage to the Bottom of the Earth
I really did not know what to expect when I booked a trip to Antarctica, all I knew is that I had a burning (or shall I say, freezing?) desire to get as far south as possible. But cross the Antarctic Circle I did, and I even swam in its chilly waters!
