When Virginia Tech student Amanda Wilson served as the teaching assistant for this past Antarctica program, she couldn’t restrain herself from taking thousands of photos of the region’s unique flora and fauna.

Now Amanda has shared many of these photos with us in this breathtaking video. If you haven’t visited Antarctica yet, then this video will surely give you the desire to do so.
