Penguins, Penguins, Penguins! Catriona Griffin October 2, 2013 Heading south for the winter would normally mean lots of sun, a nice sandy beach and a chance to get a tan in January. But that depends on how far south you go. When I left a very cold and rainy London last December I had packed my thermals and woolly hat. There's no chance for sunbathing in Antarctica! I joined the Clipper Adventurer for our 20-dayAntarctica, Falklands and South Georgia (PSG) expedition.
In the footsteps of a Legend Catriona Griffin September 12, 2013 Nepal, Kathmandu and Everest – a few names I became aware of early in life having spent my formative years on a certain little Southern Hemisphere island. Down there you learn about the mystical kingdom of Nepal even if you fail to pay attention at school! All thanks to one man – one unassuming Kiwi who made it to the top of the world and, more importantly, back down again in 1953. Sir Edmund Hillary. He is even on the NZ$5 note.
