Nearly twenty years ago, when HMS Endurance pulled into Port Everglades, the seed was planted for this adventure. Since Endurance I have been drawn to that frozen part of our planet, the creatures who call it home, and the stories of the men and women who have walked there. Deep inside where dreams are born I knew one day I would travel to the place some have called White South. I hope that you will come along with me on this exciting adventure.

January 17 ~ Count Down to White South

Fifteen days left until I head out on the adventure of a lifetime - Antarctica via Buenos Aires and Ushuaia in Argentina. My travel companions - Felice Shekar and Bob Harskell, as well as 95 other adventurers (including 4-dozen other Elderhostelers). Please join us as we travel from the moderate temperatures of South Florida's winter to the heat of summer in Buenos Aires; from the cool beauty of Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia - the southernmost city in the World- through the Drake Passage, and to our final destination - Antarctica.
