Antarctica-The Bottom of the World.

I first visited Antarctica in January, 1997. It was a great trip with the amazing scenery,wildlife, icebergs and of course, the penguins. Since then, I have always wanted to go back and this year in January of 2013, I had the opportunity to return to the Last Continent. It still is a beautiful place to see.
