I sit here staring at the blinking cursor on the white screen, the room still moving up and down, rocking to and fro after having just come off a ship for 10 straight days. I am grappling for words to tell you what I just experienced, but I am at a loss. The conversation over our “farewell lunch” among a group of fellow cruisemates and new found friends said it all. Now back in Ushuaia, the six of us sat there long after our Malbec-infused lunch was finished, trying to come up with words to describe the “white continent.” Words like “astounding, magical, enchanted, powerful, awe-inspiring” were all we could come up with, and we all agreed they were just not big enough to describe the wonder of Antarctica. But you all know me….I have to try. 😉
I will attempt to describe what I saw in a series of subsequent posts; The Wildlife, The Ice, The Crossing, The Roomie, and The Ship.
