We visited Antarctica in March of 2024. I’ve completed a journey to all seven continents now. Whoopie! Our visit was at the end of the southern hemisphere summer cruise season, with only one excursion later than ours. Ours was a cruise full of penguins, leopard seals, more penguins and best of all, singing whales. But first, we have to get there…. Our Antarctic quest would begin by flying from Atlanta to Punta Arenas at the southern tip of Chile, then flying on to Antarctica, then cruising back to Ushuaia, Argentina.

Alaska Revisited
How appropriate to photograph an American bald eagle on the Fourth of July in Alaska. In Hoonah, Alaska I was able to slowly approach this eagle which had apparently just eaten some fish. Yep, we made a return visit to Alaska to visit Denali National Park and cruise the beautiful coastline for a second time in two months.
Back in the USA
It was quite a wonderful sight to finally see the mountains of Alaska from our cruise ship. First small mountains in the distance, the Aleutian Islands, then bigger mountain ranges on the Alaskan mainland. Back in the USA after about six months of travel to places too hot for any human. Great to see snow again.
