This is a very personal story of my Alaska cruise, taking us quite close to the Arctic Circle (Lutak, Haines, latitude 59.34 North), in 2018, and then of another cruise from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Santiago, Chile, and on to Easter Island by air, in 2019. During the second cruise, on our way from the Atlantic to the Pacific, near Cape Horn, we had stopped in Ushuaia, the southernmost town on our planet (latitude 54 degrees, 48 minutes) within a stone’s throw from the Antarctic. That is the reason for putting the two stories together, in “Earth: from North to South”. The Arctic Circle is at a latitude of 66.5 degrees north of the Equator and the Antarctic Circle is at a latitude of 66.5 degrees south of the Equator. I went very close to both of them. My primary objective is to share my wonder, my emotions and enjoyment with others...
