When you book end a day with the Lemaire Channel, you know it is a good one. We had great walks, kayaking, Zodiac cruising, and even polar plunging. Penguins, seals, whales, and incredible ice. All with gorgeous calm weather and views of high peaks all around. Another perfect day in Antarctica.
Mike learned early on that the best way to escape Ohio was to become a marine biologist. During college at Wittenberg University he attended a semester at Duke University's Marine Lab — that time only confirmed his love for all things oceanic and maritime. After graduation, Mike promptly moved to Catalina Island in California where he taught marine biology to school kids. Since 1999, Mike has been working and traveling chasing his three loves: marine critters, photography, and birds.
