The Journey Begins
Robach posted a few photos of her on the ship as she initially headed off on her adventure. She explained that hanging out in a hot tub on deck helped her out with the "nausea" that she was experiencing as a result of "riding out 18 foot swells!"
Made It To The South Shetlands
Robach made her way to the South Shetland Islands amid "hurricane force winds." As seen in a video that she posted, it wasn't the easiest to report from such an extreme location.
Penguins!
One of the highlights of Robach's journey was getting to see the penguins on Petermann Island. She wrote that they spotted "thousands" of penguins near their home on the Southern Ocean.
It's Official
Since the weather was unpredictable during the trip, Robach and her team had to get creative at times. She captioned one photo, "Snowy, icy conditions were too extreme to make landfall today... so we touched the mainland to make it official: My 6th continent Australia I'm coming for you next."
Taking The Plunge
The GMA anchor took a walk on the wild (and frigid) side. She posted a few photos from her "Antarctic plunge," which she wrote took her breath away.
With The Hubby
Robach was able to experience the trip of a lifetime alongside her husband, Andrew Shue. The two posed for several photos together all while making sure to cover up against the elements, naturally.
Thanking The Team
At the end of the adventure, Robach took some time to thank the entire ABC News and GMA team for making it happen. She wrote, in part, "They all worked tirelessly through many nights with little to no sleep and I am in complete awe of them. Not only are they hardworking and talented, they are also kind, adventurous and grateful for this work trip of a lifetime! Just wanted to give them all a big shoutout and an even bigger THANK YOU."
