About 5o% of the passengers of our expedition(远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before
This goes to show just how magical the destination is.
"All your senses will be stimulated" is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How
tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs! The icy water moving through your body as you take the
infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. 2
Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant in the best way. 3 You get front-row seats to
witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as it is cruel. Like seeing a brown skua (贼

that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues.
