Scenes From Antarctica That Will Leave You Even More Awed By Nature

Last month, I embarked on what would become the greatest adventure of my life to date, to the coldest, highest, windiest, driest place on earth: Antarctica. Venturing into this part of the world demands that you confront your fears, overcome the elements and allow yourself to feel humbled in the face of an untamed wilderness. You know that timeworn phrase, “It’s the journey, not the destination?” Nowhere is that more true than in Antarctica. Not because the destination is not a vital and worthy sight, but because it is inextricably linked with the journey. You simply cannot have one without the other.
