Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula Expedition Cruise – Part II

On January 17, 2024January 17, 2024 By GeoKsIn South Georgia4 Comments

Four full days in South Georgia was simply not enough time. We kayaked, hiked, immersed ourselves in Shackleton history and walked among seals and King penguins. An absolutely amazing place.

Hiking Nova Scotia – White Point

On September 15, 2019September 15, 2019 By GeoKsIn Nova Scotia1 Comment

White Point has a small network of social trails, boot-beaten through the heather. It's fairly flat, with gently rolling terrain. A short and winding drive off the Cabot Trail, it's a good choice for those who like to hike alone.
