Best of Antarctica

A photographic record of a cruise on the MV Nord Norge to the Chilean fjiords and Antarctica, Christmas 2007. We preceded the cruise with a vist to the marvelous Iguazu Falls, on the Argentina/Brazil border. Then on to Santiago de Chile and Punta Arenas to join the Hurtigruten vessel Nord Norge. Down through the fjiords of the Chilean coast with a stop for a look at Patagonia, and on to Torres del Paine, and even a landing on Cape Horn (which is most unusual). Crossed the Drake Passage to the Antarctic peninisula and nearby islands, where the extraordinarily mild weather allowed all 12 of the planned landings, again most unusual. Finally back to Tierra del Fuego, leaving the ship in Ushuaia, then flying to Buenos Aires. Unfortunately my camera was stolen in BA, with the loss of all my photos; luckily Moira took lots in Iguazu, and many kind fellow-passengers sent me their great shots of Antarctica; I include also some amazing photos from the professional Nord Norge photographer.
