Our Antartica experience


Gerardo and I visited Antartica, and we are amazed about the natural beauty that we found here.

On this trip to Antartica we could realize that very few people live down here, it is only from a thousand to four thousand people.

In fact, local people told us about the fast ice melting of the Antarctic for fourteen thousand years, at the end of the last glaciation and they said that was the main cause of sea level to rise around the world about twenty meters more than normal, This happened in the course of five hundred years.

We talked about that in year 1899 a person named Carstens Borchgrevink along with his crew of the Southern Cross built the first huts were the first to spend a winter on the Continent.

The time when we were there was a bit harsh as the climate is extremely cold, and it was very hard to get used to it.
