Antarctica is otherworldly, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Stark, cold, beautiful desolation.
- Mark Hoppus
For my 40th birthday, I took a boat from Ushuaia in Argentina to visit the 7th continent at the bottom of the world. The landscape, the animals, and the weather are all unique and we were incredibly fortunate in how far south we were able to go.
At our most southern only 3,000 people were lower on the globe than we were.
Neko Harbour
An early start landed us on Neko Harbour, discovered by Belgian explorer Adrien de Gerlache, and named for a Scottish whaling boat; the harbour is a Gentoo penguin colony and a beautiful viewpoint over the waters.
