My friend and colleague, Beth (also a member of this meetup), is hosting a trip to Antarctica in November. If you RSVP to this event, I will put you in touch with Beth to get more information or you can reach out to either of us through Meetup.

Antarctica is a destination that pushes explorers beyond their personal comfort zones. Aboard our intimate yachts, you’ll experience the best of both all-inclusive comforts and an epic expedition. With the guidance of historians, naturalists, photographers and other experts in their fields, as well as a world-class expedition team, you’ll gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for these pristine environments. Extraordinary wildlife abounds, leaving you with a greater sense of awe. November in the Antarctic Peninsula marks the start of seabird courting season while chinstrap and Adélie penguins begin nesting and breeding along the South Shetland Islands. Here, Weddell seals also form large colonies.
