Antarctic Adventure: Sights and Sounds from the Trip of a Lifetime

There are few places more beautiful than the world's southernmost continent. Although 99 percent of Antarctica is covered with ice, the landscape still manages to be stunningly diverse—surreal blue glaciers, active volcanoes, and 360-degree views of untouched snow. And those views are made even better when an emperor penguin or humpback whale makes an appearance. There truly is nowhere else on Earth like this pristine world of ice.

In November, 2016, Ron spent 11 days on an adventure of a lifetime: An expedition cruise to Antarctica. Every day for seven days, he went ashore twice a day at different locations around and on the Antarctic Peninsula. His stunning slide show/video includes beautiful wildlife, geologic features and spectacular scenery.
