I am back into the real world after a wonderful trip to the Antartic. This was definitely one of the most exciting experiences in my life and I am certain to redo it within the coming years. There is way to much I want to write down here and maybe I'll do so in the coming days but for now I'll give you some impressions about what Fitz and I went through the previous 15 days. This is also of course the opportunity to wish you all the best for the next year. For me 2007 was a great year with many trips and many new friends who I've met. Thanks all and hopefully we'll see each other for a couple of beers in 2008!

It was awesome to see the first icebergs after a rough journey over the Drake Passage. Those sea-sickness pills definitely were needed the first two days.

Pinguins everywhere. Lovely creatures and very funny!

He was definitely the proudest of all.

Resting on the final continent.

And I guess it was the first time a Microsoft flag was raised on the Antartic :)

Our boat, the Orlova, was our home for about 10 days.

Whale spotting...

And wonderful Zodiac cruises...
