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!

Petermann Island

The landing on this island gave us chance to get up close to lots of inquisitive penguins again - like this pair of Gentoo penguins.
The Adélie penguin can be found along the entire Antarctic coast, but their numbers are dwindling due to climate change. There are a group of them behind me. You will notice that I am holding one of their eggs. Don't worry, it was just a shell - there was a big hole on the back of it, where the chick came out earlier in the season.
