Antarctic, Patagonia and Buenos Aires Trip

View across the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia, Argentina
Penguins are every bit as cute as you guessed

In late January, my wife Lara and I, went on a trip of a lifetime.  We went to Antarctica, Patagonia and Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Needless to say, it was amazing. Everything we saw was on a scale I have not experienced before.  And, in a place generally thought of as barren, there was wildlife everywhere. 

Have a look at some of my favorite images from the trip.
