A work opportunity with Quark Expeditions allowed me to travel the Antarctic regions and experience the wildlife and geography of this unique continent. It can be overwhelming to experience the wonder and magic of such a place — a sensory overload!
What struck me most was the display of colour. This white continent is transformed by every sunrise, sunset, fog, snow and hail, into a display of unforgettable colour and mood. That, combined with the vastness of the landscape, the unpredictability of weather and ice, the sparkling iceberg sculptures, and the abundance of wildlife, make it an awe-inspiring place to see.
I feel immense gratitude that I have experienced a part of this polar frontier.
When I took part in an overnight camping trip on Pléneau Island, it became very clear to me how important it is to preserve these wild places.
