Black, white and blue are usually the dominant colours that you experience down in Antarctica with some yellow thrown in from time to time. However, every once in a while you get surprised by certain colours

Snow White and the 7 dwarfs
There are certain moments that just stick with you through the years. I find it happening quite a bit to me of late, which could be due to the fact the whole world has slowed down allowing us all time

Well, when these monster mammals are in a playful mood then you will notice it pretty quickly! If you are every lucky enough to be in the presence of a whale that decides its full of energy and for some

snacking on some salmon
Bears in general are no strangers to snacking on basically anything they can get their paws on and their paws are not small. They are able to make light work of spawning pink salmon that have returned

sunny day on the peninsula
Sometimes you get really lucky with the weather when you are exploring Antarctica and get nothing but sunny skies and calm seas, which is amazing to experience. However, it sometimes never works out like
