Don’t be fooled – you are entering their world. They own this part of the globe, and maybe that’s why it’s so special. It may be one of the last places on earth where man hasn’t taken over. A world where humans are not the center of attention – that’s exactly what draws me here.
The wildlife in Antarctica is vast and certainly special. From birds to seals, to penguins, to krill, to whales – they all go on in their circle of life hunting each other in the freezing cold waters they have adapted to. When humans step into their world, they barely blink. A seal may stretch and look up for a moment before settling back down for a nap. A penguin may stop and stare, and then move right on by you within inches knowing that you are no threat.

Congratulations Sherry!
