Hello everyone! I'm mervin and I would like to share my experience working on a cruise ship and going to Antarctic,
It is a dream come true going to this part of the world!

For the first time I feel so shock! I'm a filipino that is mostly used at a hot temperature going to a land of ice. It's like throwing iced water to my head then going down to the bones! Hahaha

Here are some pictures of me while we are on greenland going to Antarctic

This actually my first time seeing a glacier but this one is still intact with a mountain so it kinda looks like a waterfalls turn into ice.

And then I saw this beautiful mountain that looks like a mountain from Game Of Thrones. And I was looking from a dragon, maybe there is a mythical beast living there hahaha!

And then after that first day is finished, the other day I went outside again to do some sightseeing then I saw this island that was a bit covered by clouds and it looks beautiful

And then the 3rd day was just a regular day, we are cruising very slow in here. And there is actually a sun during that time so I need to get some sun once in a while. And also there is ice glaciers are around the corner so it's picture taking time!

It looks like some GHOST 馃懟 or Skeletons are going to come after us and then the Ghost ship is going to hunt us down hahaha! (Oh,my imagination is working too much)

And then we waited until it became 10 or 11pm and then we encounter this NORTHERN LIGHTS while we are sailing. And it was above our heads!!

I had a video of this northern lights and it really is scary if you are at the top of the ship and its so big moving around your head hahaha!

And now in this coming picture we reach the Antarctic!
