Adventure in the ice: 86-year-old Göllner conquers the Antarctic!

Salzburg, Österreich - An impressive story comes from Antarctic, where the 86-year-old Salzburg native Göllner lived out her thirst for adventure. When she returned, she was so full of energy that she no longer needed her wheelchair service booked. "I reached my goal, but there were still many landings and many trips," she reported enthusiastically about her eventful journey. Göllner fulfilled a long -cherished dream: to set foot on Antarctic soil. "This is a dream ship," she enthused about the impressive ship that she brought back after her adventure. Her experiences in the untouched nature with penguins and gigantic icebergs remain unforgettable for the adventurous travelers. She would like to travel back to the Antarctic or even to the North Pole to experience the fascination of the white continents again, as reported.

Not only in the present day there are stories of discoveries. More than 200 years ago, more precisely on August 4, 1821, the Russian explorer Fabian von Bellingshausen returned to the port of Kronstadt. He and his brave crew had discovered and mapped 29 unknown islands on their two -year journey, which represents the first significant Antarctic expedition of the Russian Navy. The enthusiasm for her return was great - even the tsar did not miss the opportunity to greet the brave seafarers. "Our seafarers have worked with daring courage over more than 1000 kilometers in the middle of Eisbergen," cheered the rapporteurs. This trip was not only an achievement of the Russian naval history, but an important chapter of exploring the continent, which still has many secrets. Bellingshausen had crossed the polar circles and explored the relentless climate and the impressive ice landscapes during its expedition, as Deutschlandfunk

A connection between the adventures of the brave discoverers of once and today's travelers shows that the insatiable urge to explore and experience the unknown. While Göllner was allowed to admire the beauty of Antarctica, Bellingshausen's expedition remains a milestone in maritime history and in the research of the polar region, which is still inspired today.
