Antarctica is an ideal destination for the most adventurous and curious traveler. Those who venture there follow in the past of the great explorers of the past, and the experience that awaits remains undiminished today.
You will not find power lines, billboards or highways in Antarctica. When the engines of your ship are turned off, the only sounds you hear are natural-wildlife, water and the occasional boom of icebergs calving.
The continent abounds with exotic wildlife, much of it found nowhere else on earth. Birds, including large penguin rookeries, rub shoulders with seal colonies, while orcas and whales can sometimes be seen plying the ivy waters offshore. Famous for it’s enormous icebergs, towering glaciers and shimmering austral summer light, Antarctica bestows on the travelers some of the most awe inspiring and dramatic landscapes the planet has to offer. Depending on your chosen itinerary, your Antarctica cruises visit a combination of the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands, known for their wealth of penguin, seal and whale species. South Georgia Island, made famous by the explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, and a breeding ground for enormous albatross and king penguin, and the Falkland Islands with their picturesque scenery, quaint capital and prolific birdlife and mammals. Endless opportunities for amazing photographs.
