Adam and Carolyn's Antarctic Adventure

The Grigoriy Mikheev in Antarctica

This part of the website is devoted to our wonderful holiday to Antarctica over Christmas 2004. We have lots of pictures and general information about the holiday, including a blow-by-blow account of everything from Adam's diary. We hope you enjoy looking at it whether you know us already or whether you have only just now been introduced by our mutual friend Google.

If you are considering going there but haven't yet decided, our unreserved advice is just do it! Antarctica is an unbelievably beautiful place, and we had the best holiday we have ever had there.
