Bob's Antarctic Adventures


Do you recognize the above? Antarctica is the earth's southernmost continent. Wikipedia says that:
Antarctica, on average, is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents

This is some of what you might see while there.

My friend, Bob Kelly, a retired sixth grade teacher, and photographer who readers of this blog will know from the many Bob's Photos which he has graciously allowed me to publish (click on the Tag below to see them) on this blog is off on an incredible 23 day adventure which will cover over 22,000 miles and explore the islands of the Antarctic and the Antarctic Peninsula, then continue to South Georgia Island, onto the Falkland Islands, and back to Santiago, Chile. Then he will travel westward to Easter Island about 2300 miles west of Santiago, far out into the Pacific Ocean. He has begun a Blog for those who wish to travel vicariously with him. While he has not left yet the anticipation is there and the blog is prepared with lots of background information (Did I mention that Bob is a teacher?) Neil Armstrong is going to be on the trip with him and that is an added incentive to follow along. Below is the Masthead for Bob's Blog. Click on it to be taken to Bob's Antarctic Adventures. (For your convenience it is also linked on the sidebar. Or you can always subscribe and be updated as he posts.
