High winds could not deter an intrepid group of Princeton travelers from embarking on an expedition to Antarctica. The excitement for sea birds displayed by David Wilcove, who served as study leader for the group, was infectious. Encounters with penguins and humpback whales -- complete with truly amazing video -- capped off the trip.
