Rob Goldsborough and his wife Salley Mavor had the opportunity to travel along
the Antarctic Peninsula this past December,
during the height of the austral summer. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Traveling with their friends
Bonnie and Stephen Simon, they joined the ship Le Boral which took them from
the southern tip of Argentina,
across the Drake Passage south to Antarctica.
First they visited the east side of the peninsula and then along the
breathtaking west side. Their travels through the many small
islands and coves offered spectacular views of the rugged glacier covered
mountains, multitudes of icebergs, sea ice and ever-present birds. Along
the way they encountered pods of feeding whales, multitudes of penguins and a
variety of seals. As the ship progressed along the edge of the continent,
it stopped twice each day so that the passengers could be ferried ashore by
zodiac. They <span style=""> </span>could explore the territory
up close and one time actually sat right next to a penguin rookery to see these
curious birds first hand. Sometimes they could climb along the near ridges for
unforgettable vistas. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">This presentation will
include photographs and videos of the wildlife and the amazing scenery found
along the incredibly beautiful and photogenic Antarctic
Peninsula. The talk is dedicated to Stephen Simon, the speakers’
very good friend and the inspiration for this adventure, and who died suddenly in
January. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"><br></span></p>
