About 25 days and many huge waves after leaving Cape Town, I finally arrived to Atka Bay,
near Cape Norvegia, in Queen Maud Land, waaaayyy south of South Africa. With a crew of
about 50 sailors and 80 scientists, Polarstern was a very comfortable ship - an
icebreaker, like the US...

After crossing the Atlas Mountains and heading further south, one reaches the beautiful
dunes of Erg Chebbi, in the western part of the Sahara Desert. This is without doubt one
of the most beautiful landscapes of Morocco – with the Algerian border at sight just 40
Km away. Great place...

After crossing the Weddell Sea the sonar final starts showing the increase in the
submarine slope as we reach the Antarctic continent itself. The Weddell
Abyss origin is related to the separation of Gondwana, the southern part of the
super-continent Pangea, some 200...

The Weddell Sea is still one of the most remote and unknown seas in the world. Named after
a Scottish navigator, this is from were icebergs are originated, later appearing in
northern waters. The icebreaker needs to start ramming against the packed ice
sometimes and...

We headed then to the State of Chiapas with its fantastic ruins of Palenque, the tomb of
King Pakal and Indiana-Jones-like stories to tell. This is a very dense forest area, with
incredible temples. The main palace has beautiful inside courtyards and the temple and
recently found tomb...

At about 160 Km from La Serena, after 2-3 hours drive up into the mountains of La Silla,
you find the European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes of La Silla, at an altitude of
2400 m. This is one of the most scientific research active centers in the world – yet
public tours can be...

From Teotihuacan to the State of Tabasco and the city of Villahermosa took practically a
days driving under late afternoon tropical warm rain. It is here that one finds the famous
and gigantic (20 tons!) Olmec warrior heads. The Olmecs are said to be the mother of
all...

The Teotihuacan pyramids are the second full largest of such structures in the world,
after those in Egypt. The Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Sun represent all the
mysticism of the Aztecs, although Teotihuacan itself was probably built by the Totonacs,
later...

When reaching the Antarctica Peninsula, it was like having Magritte and Dali-like
“by-request” carved icebergs just in front of you. The landscape and light are
most inspiring, the weather changes at every 20 minutes – and finally perhaps you will
see other icebreakers and...

When on my way to Antarctica, going across the South Atlantic, I was just in front of
South Georgia. It was the austral summer and I departed from South Africa, on board an
icebreaker. After one week surrounded by water it was magic to see that “black rock”
as if suspended above the...
