Experiencing wildlife at Aitcho Islands :)
First landing: Barrientos in the Aitcho Islands. Wildlife briefings preceded incredible opportunities to see elephant seals, Gentoo and Chinstrap penguin colonies and skuas looking to steal eggs and newborn chicks. HBers were profoundly moved by the connection to wildlife and the challenges for leadership of the planet. OX

9.Stepping on Antarctica at Barrientos, Aitcho Islands (2010). 🇦🇶🐧🌏☄️❄️💧💍This was some kind of childhood fantasy and dream. On 8th November 2010, two things happened to me:
1. I stepped on Antarctica for the first time.
2. I met my former wife to be (it wasn't to be) that day.
