Leaving Orange County

This is my second trip within the last 12 months to Antarctica. Last December when I first traveled to Antarctica, I never dreamed there would be a second. The trip starts the same, same flight, same departure in Ushuaia, same Drake Passage, but I am more excited than the first time. This time I am going two months earlier when everything will be white and icey and most importantly, I will see the Emperor Penguins at Snow Hill Rookery.
