Not surprised there's so much life below! I went to Antarctica earlier this year. I thought it would be a barren landscape and not much wildlife to see. I'm glad this wasn't the case.
It was more like being on a wildlife safari. I saw several different species of whale. Humpbacks very close to our zodiak. Seals everywhere and different species. At one point, one got right into my face and I could even smell its horrible fish breath as it breathed on me.
Several different species of penguins and birds. It was fantastic and full of wildlife.
I highly recommend going down there if you can. Such a pristine piece of the earth teeming with life.

These are cases where sitting at home and watching some of the brilliant nature documentaries would be better. You get to see the wildlife, albeit not up close, without damaging the ecosystem.
- Simon_says 9y agoEveryone who can is everyone who can pony up $10k per person for a week-long vacation. It will stay in good condition for a while yet.
