OK, I’m back to settle a few rumours. No, I did not fall overboard. No, I was not kidnapped by penguins neither did I stow away on the boat to extend my holiday of a lifetime. I did not get lost as this website suggests. In fact, I’m safely back in Australia and ready to grace this blog with the beauty of Antarctica. If you’ve been tuning into Instagram then consider yourself lucky because that’s just a sneakpeak of what’s to come in this next instalment of Gab Gets Lost.
So let the news travel along the grapevine today that a fresh post will be up in the morning. There’s a few days worth of exploring to mention before I get stuck into Antarctica but they contain just as much action. My intention when I launched GGL was to provide a day-by-day blow but I think it’ll be more informative to centre Antarctica’s post on a specific element. Our days often followed a similar schedule (which I’ll be outlining soon!) so expect posts that wholly focus on crossing the Drake Passage, our life onboard the Greg Mortimer, our kayaking trips, penguin colonies and exploring Deception Island amongst many more.
To say that our time in Antarctica was spectacular really is an understatement. It’s a tricky landscape to describe and I really couldn’t compare it to anywhere I’d travelled to before. You might be inclined to use words like ‘blue’, ‘icy’ and ‘cold’ but that doesn’t get to the heart of it so I’ll let the pictures do a fair amount of talking here!
There’s a certain irony about breathing some life back into a travel blog while most of the world is tucked inside their homes but if you’re looking to do some vicarious exploring or have been anticipating the grand finale of this trip then strap yourself in for the next couple of weeks!
Here’s a hint at what’s to come …
