Introduction

This blog will track the preparation and progress of a journey from the Antarctic circle near the bottom tip of Argentina to the top of North America via the amazing island of Cuba and many other interesting places along the way such as Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Panama and the US. Some of the highlights for me will be spending time at Iguazu Falls, experiencing a Boca Juniors football match in Buenos Aires, kayaking with the whales in the Antarctic and attending a screenwriter's conference in Los Angeles!

Aitcho Islands in the South Shetland Islands

We set off on our cruise and were very lucky to enjoy a smooth passage across the notorious Drake Passage. This is the rough ocean between Argentina and the South Shetland Islands at the top of the Antarctic Peninsula. We jumped into zodiac boats to make a landing on Aitcho Island.
We found many Chinstrap penguins who were standing in groups motionless - as they were malting.

There were also many friendly orange-beaked Gentoo penguin chicks, who were always very curious and came up to us.
