No, Cara didn't make it to Antarctica, but her primary photographer did, and got some photos as good as those he usually gets of Cara. The trip didn't quite go as intended, and some equipment delays gave C extra time to help with some seal research, visit Captain Scott's Hut and take a walk over the the NZ Scott Base. Combined with an introductory ice survival course and unexpected penguin visit, the trip inspired close to 1000 photos. Here's a sample.
