I do hope this reports gets out, because somehow, our e-mails have been bouncing back. With a strong feeling of faith (and a heart filled with hope) I am writing - for the first time - and do hope you will see this. We are close to Elephant Island, and will be going ashore around 8:00 tonight. It has been a day filled with lectures (I got everybody's attention by snoring in a corner) and we left our cabin a few moments ago to get our first glimpse of an iceberg. It was COLD on the bridge so I did not stay outside for longer than it took to snap a couple of photos. They are calling us for another lecture. I am sure we will write later in the day, and if my stomach allows, I will be going ashore with the rest of the group.

Your Antarctica Explorers
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.
