The EYOS Experience
EYOS specializes in creating exceptional expedition experiences tailored to the individual. Come along with Rachel and Kevin Fox, who generously shared their images and captions from their EYOS Expedition to Antarctica. Look through their eyes and imagine how remarkable your expedition could be.

Day 1
Our ride to Antarctica was in a military Hercules. It was an incredible and surreal experience and a perfect beginning to an incredible and surreal trip!
Day 2
Our first morning in Antarctica! We quickly had an unexpected insight not only into the character of our Captain and his ship, but also into the differences between a 'cruise' and an 'expedition'. We explored a small harbor that is virtually uncharted - it has only a single line of depth readings, made by a ship more than 50 years ago sans such niceties as GPS or depth-sonar.







Day 3
Woke up in Paradise Bay to just beautiful weather. Tumbled icebergs take on so many shapes. Like cloud watching, animals and stories appear in these beautiful icebergs.






Day 4
I love fish... this much! Adelie penguin on Petermann island, Antarctica.





Day 5
Antarctic Circle! Vernadsky is the point where most ships turn back and explore the upper reaches of the peninsula, but we kept heading south. For all the sites we had yet seen, this morning was remarkable for the stillness and clarity imbuing everything as we glided silently through a seascape seemly frozen in time.






Day 6
Tim "knocked" on our front door with a thermos of hot chocolate at the door of the tent. Perfect wake up. As we climbed out of the tent Tim informed us that our ice floe had traveled 2.5 miles while we slept, a fact which kind of blew our minds.
Day 7
Crystal Sound had some great broken pieces of ice floe and we went out in the Zodiacs to watch the yacht cut through the ice. It is not an icebreaker, but it has an ice reinforced hull, and this is a tough little ship.


Day 8
We slowed down our schedule a bit. Some of us kayaked, while I went on a Zodiac with Rob. We were tired but once out the door I never regretted a moment of it!





Day 9
When whales were spotted, Rob rushed out on the back deck, looked & then went right back inside & told everyone to hurry up & get ready as fast as they could. In record time, we were all loaded into the zodiacs, not entirely sure about what Tim and Rob were planning. We definitely didn't think that we were about to get the close encounter of a lifetime.





Day 10
It was our last full day in Antarctica and Tim and Rob had a plan in place for doing as much as possible. We started with penguins as far as the eye can see; this guy was curious about me and came to check me out where I was sitting.
