The first things that I noticed when entering Antarctic territory were the beasts that were the

icebergs. They speckled the water and stood tall against the clear sky. It had always been on my bucket list to lick a real iceberg and where better to cross this off my list than in Antarctica!Icebergs are never still and are constantly shifting positions due to the wind. For this reason a lot of bigger ships tend to steer clear of these ‘bergs. No one wants a repeat of the Titanic!The chances come with smaller vessels, primarily Zodiacs. They are must smaller and can navigate around icebergs with ease.We had the chance to pull up next to a rather small iceberg and see how far into the water it actually went. The old adage is true, what we saw really was “just the tip of the iceberg!”Getting exciting at the possibility of being able to lick one of these great ice blocks we convinced our zodiac driver to pull in between two icebergs. Needless to say, this was a bad idea. The imperceptible motions of the icebergs were lost on us and soon we found ourselves trapped between them.Luckily, a flatboat from a base was returning to shore when they spotted us and were able to aid in our rescue!
