Believe It or Not: Tapper in Antarctica

Tapper in AntarticaWhen we posted a photo on Louisville Water’s social media channels of a plush version of our Tapper mascot in Antarctica, some people thought the image was digitally manipulated or even AI generated.

Nope.

Our chief technology officer, Carlos Felix, shared all of these photos from a recent trip he and his family took to the continent.


“Antarctica has been a dream destination for my wife since she was about four years old,” Felix said. “Her love for penguins is immense. The continent itself is otherworldly, leaving you with an awe that neither words nor pictures can fully capture.”

He and his family went on hikes, navigated the waters in inflatable boats, and were “greeted by playful penguins and whales daily.”

“The sun never set, which I never really got used to,” Felix shared, but he even participated in a polar plunge.
