- Humpback whales and wild life, Antarctica
(The Antarctic wildlife was never far away from us, with every onshore landing or cruise we took on the zodiac. Our biggest highlight was, of course, the humpback whales, especially the one that came close to our anchored ship and gave such loud thumpings of the sea with his huge fluke. We even received the right to name it from a whale organisation because it was never identified before - we names it "White Lightning". We could hear him snorting too, with a bass sound that was vibrating our bodies - the hairs on the back our necks stood up. The leopard seals, the 2 penguin species that literally accompanies us - the Gentoos and the Chin-straps. They made this expedition trip here real, exhilarating and wild!)
