Visiting Antarctica

Photos and short blog about Neko harbor in Antarctica.

Part Four On the second day out of the sea, we had two stops, Enterprise Island and Neko Harbour. The names are a bit misleading as we circled Enterprise Island in a Zocdica boat and landed on Neko Harbour. The cruise around Enterprise ISland included Iceberbs, a Seal Leopard, and snowshoers. The snowshoers were fromContinue reading “Visiting Antarctica”

Part 3 It’s Penguin time!! Land Ho!!! After four days of traveling, we make our first stop on a snowy Island with a Gentoo Penguin Colony and a Weddell Seal.

Part One: Days 1 &2 A couple of things upfront.

Part Two. Always have backup sites to visit. The plan was to visit various waterfalls along the scenic highway, but no parking and 5-mile hikes ended that plan. This means the only waterfall photos I have are from the first stop, Latourell Falls. Photo Tip: Don’t focus on what is in front of you; lookContinue reading “Visiting Oregon”
