Antarctic

I walked into the frigid water up to my waist..

Carefully walking back out stepping on sharp volcanic rock bottom.

Trying to get the blood moving again.

I DID IT!!!!! We changed on the beach from our warm clothes into bathing suits and again back into our warm clothes on the beach.

Getting a congratulations from one of the crew members.

And talking and talking.. what else is new???

Departing Deception Island. A photo of some of the strata of the earth in the volcanic caldera.

Arriving South America. The Andes to the left and Patagonia ahead and to the right.
