I'm back from Chile.  It's much easier to review my pictures now. I wasn't sure I captured my experience well.  But for the first time, I can see what I have.  My 48 hour journey to Antarctica was remarkable!  It is a subtle and powerful experience upon which to reflect.  Because my father went decades before he had a family,  I didn't think I would feel a connection to the continent in my DNA.  I was wrong.  The feeling of awe is deep within me.
