A retired California trial attorney, William Seegmiller represented people who had been injured for more than three decades. In his free time, William Seegmiller enjoys traveling and has visited Antarctica. For many, Antarctica is a dream vacation and a trip of a lifetime. It takes effort and time to visit the snowy continent, and the timeframe is limited to November through March, the Antarctic summer. There are several ways to experience Antarctica, all via boat. The most common, and most affordable, route is from Ushuaia, which is the southernmost city in the world at the tip of Argentina. This route goes through the Drake Passage, South Shetland Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula before turning around. Some trips cross the Antarctic Circle, though these trips are few and only for the most intrepid adventurers who are excited by going beyond the 66th parallel. A lengthier trip includes the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, which is attractive to history buffs interested in viewing battlefield sites from the War of 1812.
A former Martindale Hubbell-rated attorney, William Seegmiller possesses over 35 years experience in representing individuals who had been injured in accidents. Beyond his professional pursuits, William Seegmiller is a passionate philanthropist who regularly donates to Special Olympics.Founded by Eunice Kennedy in 1968, Special Olympics aims to inspire and empower individuals with intellectual disabilities through sports as well as health and education programming. One of the ways in which it empowers those individuals is through its Unified Champion Schools program, which partners students with and without intellectual disabilities in an effort to end discrimination and promote inclusion. In January, along with Hasbro, Special Olympics awarded 10 students with the BE FEARLESS BE KIND award for going above and beyond in that regard. The winners were students in grades 5 to 9 from schools in Wyoming, North Carolina, and Michigan, among other states. Nominated by teachers or coaches, they earned $1,000 to support Special Olympics programming in their respective schools. Among other inclusive actions, the winning students encouraged peers to participate in Special Olympics Unified Sports, assisted students with intellectual disabilities during class, and established programs such as the R-word campaign.
A philanthropist, William Seegmiller has spent over 35 years as an attorney representing injured persons and their families. When not dedicating his time to clients or giving back to his local Carlsbad, California community, William Seegmiller enjoys seeing the world, even having traveled as far as Antarctica, which is one of the most unique and adventurous travel destinations on Earth.Traveling to Antarctica demands a fair bit of preparation, with most travelers arriving by boat. Many cruises to this polar continent depart from the southern tip of Argentina, and entering the country can be tricky, involving multiple layovers and entry fees. Travelers will need a clean bill of health, as well as proper emergency medical and evacuation insurance.Most people who visit Antarctica do so for the recreation and unforgettable scenery. Kayaking is particularly popular, giving visitors a chance to get close to the sea life, including leopard seals, whales, and penguins. There are also tours of many of the large icebergs and bays, as well as opportunities to hike trails forged by early explorers of the continent.Those who want a one-of-a-kind postage stamp from Antarctica can visit the Antarctic Exploration Museum and Post Office on Goudier Island, which was originally a British military base during World War II. Nearby sits Trinity Church, the southernmost Orthodox church on earth, built by Russians in the mid-1990s.
