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!

Whaler's Bay, Deception Island

After spending the morning kayaking in Whaler's Bay, we took a zodiac across to the island, where a couple of fur seals were dancing around for us.
If you look closely, you will see why this type of penguin is called the Chinstrap. They all have a black marking under their chins that looks like a strap.

We were all given the chance to swim in the freezing Antarctic waters, and the more crazy of us ran in and started to swim, only to realise how cold it was. We all turned around pretty quickly and ran out again! This photo is the evidence that I was one of the crazy ones.
