It was a long time pending wish to visit Antarctica. It happened this November. The 13 day trip in MV Hondius from Ushuaia to Antarctic peninsula was a dream come true. The trip was made more entertaining and knowledgeable by the experienced and supporting team which accompanied us. The stay was made comfortable by the ever ready and pleasing support staff in the ship. We were a group from 28 countries who shared their experiences and knowledge during the trip. The lectures organised every day by qualified staff bonded us further towards wildlife.
