“Purple mountains” - beautiful

I had read about how rough South Georgia Island was, but that's not the same as seeing it. We also had the good fortune of seeing the waterfall that was the last obstacle before reaching the Stromness whaling plant, and Shackleton's grave at Grytviken (interesting that he wanted to be buried there). The Grytviken museum had a facsimile of the J Caird, and having just crossed the Drake Passage in "good" conditions, it is nuts that their rescue plan worked.

That's not how I read it at first

My first thought was Waltah when I say this

Nope. Elephant Island, in particular, provides no real shelter. Point Valentine was ridiculously exposed, and Point Wild (another) only a bit better.

I’m from Washington State and Scotland is nearly as beautiful as our state, the people are far nicer.

This is great! I am just finishing Endurance and was hoping you would mention those island. That had to have been a great experience, could you imagine surviving on those islands?!

Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me 💗

Ancient Aliens:

"You can clearly see the pyramids under the ice!"

Not that I am aware of. Wiki claims Germans climbed the taller of Una Peaks, pretty similar...

Do you know if anyone has ever summited those peaks?

I'm melting! Oh woe is me!

In French ‘renard’ means fox

For now…

Every time I see Scotland I’m a bit shocked - as an American I didn’t know the landscape was that nice.

Nat Geo (Lindblad) is how I got there. Absolutely incredible trip, but words fail me in being able to explain why the trip was life-changing.
