For 3 weeks in November/December 2023, we sailed on Aurora Expedition's Greg Mortimer to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falklands/Malvinas. This is one of a series of blog posts detailing our shipboard experience, sea kayaking and other excursions, wildlife and bird sightings, and more.
This installment of the Nearby Nature Project covers a couple aspects of our recent trip to Antarctica, a bit of reflection on 2023 and some ideas for 2024.
