Here I was 2 months ago, surrounded by penguins, seals, whales, glaciers, blue ice,... If I close my eyes and concentrate hard enough, I can still be there, touching the ice at the other end of the world. I can still picture the gracious dives of the whales. I can still laugh at penguins falling off an iceberg. I still feel this sense of smallness when you look up at gigantic cliffs. I can go back to the silence of this continent.
And I have found my word to describe it: Pure.
Peace and beauty are the only rulers of this glorious part of the world.
And this reign is being threatened by us. The direct consequences that we have observed come as a harsh reminder that again, the negative impacts affect the ones that deserve it the least.
Let us be united for a better future🤝
