The continuing adventure following the foot steps of the explorers Amundsen, Shackleton and Scott at least a safer guided version of the polar spectacle.
I put on a sweater while reading this.

Some of the expedition team were very into Antarctica history and they gave talks about those brave people. It was very interesting and has aroused my interest in the topic
Did you get the chance of touring any of the Scientific stations or old camp sites of the explorers or are they generally Off Limits?
We did a zodiac cruise to one on Day 5, but that was a seasonal base. They were expecting the team to turn up in a couple of weeks time.
On Day 9, our last day in the continent, we visited some old historical sites, loads of history there.
Here's a teaser from my last post
I would have loved to visit Port Lockroy aka the Penguin post office and send a post card back home, but sadly it wasn't in our itinerary.
I've seen some other cruises visit base stations. Like our ship was chartered by a China company for 16 days (yup, the whole ship for the whole period!!) after we got off, and I saw on IG they visited one of China's base station.
