Guys - this is just what I need, and I think, as with still photography it is very difficult to see your work in a detached way, as we are looking at it in, let's be honest, a biased way. The Antarctic trip was a cruise that was called by the cruise line, with some justification, an expedition. We had the comfort of a cruise ship and the "adventure" of the Zodiak transfers to the beaches that were a bit "hairy" at times. The icebergs were a surprise to me as we don't see them around the seas in the UK and I had not realised how beautiful they could be. I am not sure if any similar trips are available from other parts of the world - this one started in Buenos Areas and took us to the Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic peninsular. David.
