A truly exceptional way to experience this ultimate bucket-list topping destination.Antarctica is likely at the top of many adventure-driven (or crazed?) individuals list of dreams, and rightly so. The remoteness and purity of the seemingly untouched landscapes give the feeling that you are continuously discovering new places despite the rich history of past explorers.Sailing to and through various spots from King George Island right down into the Peninsula by sea kayak, snow shoeing and glacier hiking allowed us experiences from the crystal-clear water’s edge up close with the wildlife to right up above the clouds viewing the vast valleys and mountain peaks. All the while staying onboard a classic 40m sailing vessel, with the extremely hospitable, kind and funny crew, allowing us to get right into many incredible anchoring spots to host the days activities and return to great food and entertainment.As is appropriate with a RatRace event, there were a few sporting challenges (actually let’s call them opportunities) which saw us achieve a 50+km sea kayaking circumnavigation of two Antarctica Islands and top the trip out with over 100km of paddling.This adventure could be talked about endlessly, as mine and I’m sure the rest of the participants family and friends already know. Whilst this was my first overseas RatRace event, it is certainly just the beginning. It is so more than just showing up to a company organized event and being a number on the participant list. With a RatRace adventure you are part of a likeminded team searching for a more unique and daring experience, each of you willing to push past comfortable in search of the unknown and unforgettable lying around every ice-clad corner. Jim and the RatRace crew deliver superb leadership to the event and work tirelessly to ensure no base is left uncovered, their passion to keep developing new adventures exploring new locations is something I am very grateful for as this has led to a life-defining experience for myself. (and I am sure countless more over adventures past).If you are reading this review, you already want to get out there so get book on NOW. Only amazing awaits.
