The trip my daughter and I took last fall to Antarctica with Quark Expeditions continues to inspire. This is a new piece I wrote that incorporates some of of my on-board journal/blog. 

If you’ve never experienced polar travel before, I highly recommend at least one journey. Also, we found Quark Expeditions to be an exceptional company to travel with, on every level, and so I highly recommend them, as well.
