“As I slid out of the kayak, I felt my boot sink into the cold water. Then, my foot hit solid ground. One step. Another step. I was out of the water and standing on Antarctica. I looked down, taking it all in. The moment felt heavier than I expected. I was standing on the Antarctic Peninsula. I was standing on Antarctica. The emotions were overwhelming—gratitude, wonder, disbelief. This was the dream I had as a kid, a dream that once seemed unreachable. Yet here I was, with the sounds of penguins in the distance and the icy air on my face.”
