Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica
  • Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica
another world: Experience Antarctica in all its natural majesty. Nothing quite prepares you for the awe of Antarctica. Surrounded by towering glaciers, the continent will fill you with wonder as you spend five magical days exploring its frozen landscape. Large groups of penguins huddle on the ice floes, avoiding the cunning leopard seals that hunt them. Migrating whales glide among amazing icebergs as they feed on krill. Bird enthusiasts should look out for some of the many species of Antarctic seabirds that live here, such as skuas, cormorants, petrels, and terns. When we arrive, the Antarctic summer is coming to an end, so you can look forward to seeing the landscape beautifully illuminated by breathtaking sunsets. It's a great time to see penguins in their final stage of molting, and it's peak whale-watching season as large amounts of krill lure cetaceans to the area. Here, nature is king, and we are mere observers. Our experienced captain will continually monitor conditions to create the best possible itinerary for your adventure. You'll spend an exciting 10 days busily exploring several of the many possible landing sites in the South Shetlands and on the Antarctic Peninsula based on when and where conditions are at their best. Wherever we go and whatever we do, each day will offer something different and thrilling. You'll go on landings and ice cruises. You may even get a chance to go kayaking among the icebergs. Back onboard, the Expedition Team will continue their lectures, giving you a deeper insight into the frozen continent. ...
