    I have wanted to visit Antarctica since I was a teenager. Finally retired, I visited Antarctica with Atlas Ocean Voyages in 2022. It was more than I could have hoped for. As soon as I returned home, I began longing, longing to return. I could so identify with the pastry chef! I have booked a trip for this year, and the cruise will include South Georgia. Your podcast featuring pastry chef was simply wonderful. Yes we must protect this magical part of our planet.
