Hello and Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your note and message. I am now back on the South American continent but I certainly thoroughly enjoyed Antarctica and was amazed by the landscape and wildlife that I was able to see. Antarctica is not a typical holiday destination but if you are interested in learning and enjoy expedition type travel then you would likely enjoy it very much.

Cheers

Danny

Many thanks for that URL D'Arcy. I hope some of the folks following the journey have taken the time to check out the Climate Friendly website. I am very pleased that Eagle Eye Tours in Edmonton have offered to make my journey 'Carbon Neutral' by doing exactly as you describe. Thanks again for your post.

Cheers, Danny

Hello Gunna in Iceland

Hello Gunna!

And thank you so much for your message (and I aplogize for my late reply). I am now in Argentina after a fabulous visit to Antarctica. We were able to get below the Antarctica Circle (66.5 degrees South) because the ice was more open this year than in previous years. As you say, things are changing the world over and in particular the ice in both the Arctic and in Antarctica. I hope your winter in Iceland has been a good one... and thank you for your message and words of support.

carbon offsets?

Danny, I agree that the benefit of this journey far outweighs the cost (in terms of carbon). If it really bothers you, carbon offsets can be purchased. Usually, it involves paying a foundation to plant a number of trees to offset the amount of carbon output.

Your contribute to global warming

Hello Danny and thank you so much for your blog words and great photos. Your argument about you contributing to global warming by traveling is ruled out by the positive influence of people reading your articles in my opinion. And human impact on global warming is now even being recognised by american scientists that admit they were before payed by industrial companies to have another oppinion! We here in Iceland are very much experiencing the influence of climate change already by the rapid recrution of our glaciers and changes of ocean temperature. Keep up your good work Danny. Gunna
