Let’s take a tour of Antarctica’s Historical Wordie House.
Ask yourself, would you live there?
The Wordie House, located on Winter Island in the Argentine Islands of Antarctica, is significant as it served as the main base for the British Graham Land Expedition from 1935 to 1936.
Named after Sir James Wordie, a geologist and polar explorer who was part of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, the house represents the early era of British scientific research in Antarctica.
Today, it stands as a historic site, preserved to educate visitors about early 20th-century Antarctic exploration and research, offering insights into the living conditions and scientific endeavors of the time.

Seeing penguins for the first time in Antarctica was a dream come true. As a penguin nerd, here are some facts about these sea birds:
🐧 Penguins in Antarctica are adept swimmers, with some species like the Emperor Penguin capable of diving to depths exceeding 500 meters.
🐧 These flightless birds have adapted to the extreme cold, relying on thick layers of feathers and a unique countercurrent heat exchange system to conserve body heat.
🐧 Antarctica is home to several penguin species, including Adélie, Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Macaroni penguins, each with distinct physical characteristics and behaviors.
🐧 Penguins play a vital role in the Antarctic ecosystem, serving as indicators of environmental health and contributing to nutrient cycling through their guano, which supports the growth of algae and krill, essential food sources for many marine species.

Midday on Baja’s East Cape our road trip unveils stunning vistas along the Sea of Cortez, where humpback whales play along the horizon. Here are three fun facts about humpback whales in Baja:
🐋Humpback whales are known for their acrobatic behaviors, including breaching, tail slapping, and fin waving, making them a delight to watch during whale-watching tours in Baja.
🐋These majestic creatures undertake one of the longest migrations of any mammal, traveling thousands of miles from their feeding grounds in colder waters to the warm breeding grounds near Baja’s coast.
🐋Humpback whales are famous for their complex and haunting songs, which can travel long distances underwater. These songs are believed to play a role in communication and courtship rituals among humpback populations.

This stunning horseback ride in @scottsdaleariz blew my mind!
First off, our guide took the time to learn about our interests and constantly share knowledge about all the plants as we passed by on the horses.
Second, the cloudy sky made for a stunning backdrop to the trail ride on these horses in Scottsdale.
I’ll have to admit, when the idea of riding horses in Scottsdale, AZ was presented to me, I was skeptical. Now, I’m stoked we got out and did this!
