The snow covered mountains and shoreline of Antarctica were always beautiful.

Icebergs were always present. Just go up on deck and you would see icebergs. Some were small, some were large, most were beautiful and no two came close to looking alike.

Penguins, penguins, thousand of penguins. All of the above penguins are Gentoo - which is what we saw most of the time. Jerry did some digital fancy footwork to create a couple of the photos.

Antarctica

Our Antarctica cruise was made on the Norwegian Cruise Ship, Nordnorge. It is a smaller cruise ship and we were able to negotiate the Antarctic Peninsula, islands, ice flows, icebergs, and wildlife. We made seven landings at different points on the Antarctica Peninsula. The above views were photographed while the ship was in Neko Harbor, Antarctica

The top photo are spectacular mountains in Tierra del Torres National Park in Southern chile. The middle photo is Tierra del Fuego National Park which is at the southern end of Argentina. This is where the Pan American Highway ends. The bottom photo is Cape Horn, the southern most part of South america.

South America

In January, 2008, Ellie and Jerry Traveled to South America and Antarctica. We spent three days in Rio de Janeiro, two days in Sao Paulo, and two days in Buenos Aires. We then flew to Ushuaia which is in the south of Argentina. We boarded a small cruise ship, cruised the Antarctica Peninsula, and the Chilean Fjords. We flew to Santiago, Chile for a couple days and then flew home. The above photos are in the Rio area.

Curacao, Netherlands Antilles was our next stop. It has a beautiful harbor as the photos show. Our last stop was San Juan, Puerto Rica. From there we flew home.
