Urbina Bay, Isabela Island; Monday 7 November

I think today has to be dedicated to Pete. He was the one that told me to write about the weird places I go, to share with him the places he could not travel. And there are lots of boobie pics.

The Galapagos trip ended up being a saga rather than a post. For links to the whole trip please go to the first Galapagos post.

At this point I am really screwy about what day it was and what island we were on. The pace was both comfortable and grueling. Mostly because I wasn't going to miss out on anything.

Some of the photos in the last post were of this day's hike on Isabela island. I will post mostly stuff from the panga ride. I think the panga rides were my favorite thing. Towards the end are few shots from the snorkeling collection.

As always, the photos are all mine unless otherwise credited. If you don't want to see the text (and I don't blame you) click on any of the photos to get a slide show.

If I had taken better notes
I could have told you the name of this bird.
The main thing is how it really looks
like the rocks.

Look how high he is on the rocks. They don't fly.

The rock in this area is mostly ash fall
Lovely wind and sea sculpted rock layers

I know this is a lot of rocks, but really cool rock layers

I did not color correct any of these photos.
This is just what we saw.

Antarctic, Tuesday 14 November 2023

A week and a half after landing, and I am still processing this trip. I may be processing for the rest of my life. I think any trip to the Antarctic would be life changing. For me as a geographer, traveler, and elder, this trip was on my probably not gonna happen bucket list. Getting there was hard work. Getting over my personal barriers was difficult. There was nothing easy about getting there, a personal triumph. But there was something magical about this trip, this voyage. Even the Expedition leaders noted there was something special about it, a luck. The weather, the sea conditions, the sightings. All were way beyond expectations. I will begin as the voyage begins with Drake Passage. This passages has two settings one involves sea sick meds, learning how to wedge oneself into bed, how not to smash fingers in doors. The other is Drake Lake. There is nothing in between. We did the crossing in a day and a half rather than the usual two. There were bulletin boards with all sorts o

Ecotravel and Greenwashing and a Ramble on Ethics

As someone who strives to reach the unobtainable goal of living ethically (or if you prefer the word: moral, holy, pure.) I am always questioning the decisions I make. I rarely get it right, but I make the effort. In these blogs I try to share not just the travel experience, but how these travels have changed me. Travel is a big issue in my personal path, and for the planet as well. Travel has its cost. I am not speaking of the monetary cost, but the ethical cost of going to another place and the affect on that place. I was accused by one troll of “Killing the penguins.” The question becomes how do I tip the scales of Osiris in my direction. "Ethics is the branch of philosophy that deals with moral questions and values." Encyclopedea Britanica This essay is on my thoughts on that particular dilemma. I can’t tell you what to think, but perhaps in reading how I came to my decisions you can add to my thinking, and perhaps think about your footprint. The photos are from my va

The Galapagos: The start

Dear Friends I am just back from a trip that will forever change my life. An apex experience. I am afraid I will be insufferable for a while. When you meet me in real time, I will try to not go on and on, but if you ask, I will be happy tell you about what we did. Note on the photos: I will note all of the photos taken by other people, the rest were from me, taken with my phone (or rather my camera with a phone in it.) I have reduced the size. If you want a full copy of one of them, contact me. Note on dates, locations, and species: I do not claim any accuracy. Where you find that I have erred, please let me know so I can correct. Because of the size of the experience, and the huge number of photos I am processing, I am going to break this down into several sections because it is just so enormous in my head. I will sent an email update when I post something new, or you can check back here as I will make the following into links as I do the posts. Quito: or how to get high, Th
