Antarctica and Patagonia Odyssey
Some thirty years ago I developed an interest in the Antarctic and the explorers of the 'Heroic Age'. Travel to these cold climes has been on top of my list of travel destinations since then. While travel anywhere is wonderful and I have been fortunate to travel to many destinations both within Australia and overseas, Antarctica has never come off the top of the list. To find that my dream trip is only a few sleeps away is almost too unreal to contemplate! To know that I will be following Ernest Shackleton, Tom Crean and Frank Worsley's journey in the Endurance and The James Caird is a dream come true! What an adventure!
