Happy New Year from Antarctica =)







Hey Guys,

sorry its late but heres wishing you ALL ... A VERY VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.... wishing you all the health, wealth and happinness there is.... have a truly Fab 2007 =)

so where are we now..... WOW WOW WOW!!! we have been in Antarctica for 12 days, it is so hard for me to put into words, it is just insane..... amazing... nature at its best =)
truly un believable....... we spent xmas day cruising the Drake passage which was vey rough.... as expected but still yukky!!!

our first stop was cruising the lemaire channel and oh my gosh! we woke up at 5.30am to go outside and both of us just coulnt believe our eyes..... mountains covered in the thickest snow and HUGE icebergs floating right beside us... I mean truely huge too..... its hard to grasp... some have penguins on them just floating past.... it is so amazing!!!

the landing are obviously cold but so breathtaking...... its is just so untouched......

we were standing there oneday shooting and we had had four seasons in one hour already, I heard what sounded like thunder so looked to the sky ans then realised it was actualy a huge piece of Ice falling from the ice berg into ocean... it caused the biggest splash and was just so amazing to see......

penguins, penguins and more penguins just every where, we have some just amazing penguin photos =)

well I could keep on forever about this... ha ha.....

so NEW YEARS EVE..... we spent in Ushuiai, Argentina, again it was very cold but lots of fun. we went to a local Irish bar with an American... ha ha... we had a good laugh and a few Argentinian beers which were much needed after a very busy cruise =)

so now we are back into it and on our way back to the land of penguins =)

huge LOVES TO YOU ALL..... HAPPY NEW YEAR.....
