Celebrating the holidays in Antarctica was an amazing experience; not only did we have snow 24/7, but we got to celebrate with seals, whales, and penguins! We were surrounded by beautiful and dramatic landscapes during our Christmas Eve dinner, and kayaking during the holidays was a priceless gift.  Here are some pictures of my holiday adventures to ring in the New Year! Happy 2016!
