Our Experience

• We have spent approximately 2 years of our lives sailing the Drake passage...and enjoyed it!
  
  
• We have spent 16 birthdays standing in awe on the Antarctic continent itself
  
  
• The combined expedition team has seen more than 20 million penguins. This number includes an amazing 4 Emperors! We've never been bitten.
  
  
• We've sailed well over 1 million miles aboard ships on Antarctica expeditions.
  
  
• We've sea kayaked over 2,000 nautical miles in Antarctica.
  
  
• We've rescued 3 seals caught in debris, hundreds of wayward seabirds and a bunch of lost yachtsmen.
  
  
• We've never seen the same iceberg twice.
  
  
• We've lost 5 hats and found 2 – we'll have to keep working on that.
  
  
• We (along with our passengers) have raised approx. 1 million AUD that was dedicated directly towards Antarctica wildlife preservation projects.
  
  
• We've led close to 15,000 excursions to explore various spots in Antarctica. To many of them we seem to have been the only visitors.
  
  
• We've spent more than 100 nights camping on the ice of Antarctica.
  
  
• We've seen 67 sunsets that would bring you to tears!
  
  
• We've seen and heard the roar and thunder of 1000’s of glacial avalanches in the Antarctic, and each one is better than the last!
  
  
• We've encountered blue, fin, sei, humpback, orca, minke, beluga, narwhal, southern bottlenose, cuviers beaked, bowhead and sperm whales...and have been amazed each and every time.
  
  
• We were the first expedition kayakers to bring commercial kayaking to South Georgia, and didn’t get our hair wet!
  
  
• We have experienced the raw beauty and the remote tranquility of coastal waterways ranging from Iceland, East and West Greenland, the Canadian Arctic and the Scandinavian Arctic to the Antarctic.
  
  
• We've led hundreds of polar expeditions – each one very different from the last.
