Bob's Antartic Adventure - The Movie

Last year my friend Bob Kelly went to Antartica.  He shared many of his photos with us here on Bailey's Buddy and now he shares this movie which he made of many of the pictures from that trip.  His description is here:


Description

This FotoMagico slide show with music and sound effects has a duration of 18 minutes, 34 seconds.  It opens with several maps to orient the viewer to the location of this adventure, and is followed by a visual tour of our ship, the National Geographic Explorer.

The wildlife comes next as eight species of penguins are introduced, followed by some photos of an ice breaking experience we enjoyed!  A sequence of photos introduces you to Elephant Seals, Fur Seals, Crabeater Seals, and Leopard Seals.  You will see and hear Killer Whales, Humpback Whales, and Fin Whales.  Reindeer originally imported by Scandinavian whale hunters decades ago can be found on the island of South Georgia.

The Black Browed Albatross, a magnificent bird with a wingspan of 6-8 feet is shown flying elegantly and in the larger rookery found on a remote island which is part of South Georgia.  The wingspan is so broad on these birds that their wings fold up in two places to make them functional!

Several beautiful antarctic landscapes are shown next followed by many beautiful ice bergs of all sizes and descriptions.  The video concludes with a sequence on Easter Island, located 2600 miles west of Santiago, Chile out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  Easter Island is the home to the giant stone heads or Moai (Mo-eye) that have captivated historians and archeologists for many years.

Note....before starting the video be sure to select the resolution of 1080p for the sharpest image, and also choose for it to be displayed full screen.  Those controls are down in the lower right corner of the video window.  Enjoy!!!
