What do see on the ICE that is intersting? Do you see any penguins, do you see any supucious things that might jump out at you. BY.

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I wanted to wait until we made it to the ice before answering your question. When we first got off the plane, we had landed on the Ross Ice Shelf, so needless to say, there was a lot of ice. Then off in the distance were the majestic Transantarctic Mountains. They appeared to be rising out of nothing since all we could see was ice, and then the peaks disappeared into the clouds. Excellent question. I hope that helps to provide some visual for you. Make sure to check the photo gallery. We'll have plenty of pictures in the coming days
Cheers,
