One thing to remember -- HAL and other big ship cruises do not actually STOP
anywhere in Antarctica. You drive by and look - a sad substitute for
smelling penguin
guano on your boots!
Smaller, and more expensive lines (Lindblad is the best), make Zodiac
landings -- usually two a day. They offer different and a vastly better
experience.
Something to know and recognize
--
The modern world,
Would be less snarled.
If the most important Marx,
Had been Groucho, instead of Karl.
