For most of us, Antarctica represents our best chance to experience
the wonders of journeying to another world without having
to leave planet Earth. She has enticed explorers, scientists, adventurers
and dreamers for more than a century and today, there is still tremendous
scope for further exploration.
As winter releases its icy grip, millions of penguins, sea birds
and seals pour from the ocean to breed along the thawing shores
of Antarctica. Enormous breeding colonies form in the shadow of
soaring mountains. Icebergs, carved in every schizophrenic shape
imaginable and compressed to a sky blue tint, roam the coast of
a land where the height of summer sees 24 hours of daylight.
Wander quietly among hundreds of thousands of penguins and albatross;
weave through a maze of sculptured icebergs in our trusty Zodiacs;
anchor inside a flooded volcano and swim in the warm, thermal waters
off a seal-cloaked beach!
Sift through the ruins of abandoned whaling stations and visit
modern, international research stations; climb a snow-clad hill
for an inspirational view or photograph imposing geological spires
in the seemingly endless, apricot twilight.
The triumphs and tragedies of early Antarctic explorers are recounted
by our expert guiding team as we break new ground ourselves, in
places never before walked by human feet. A parade of whales including
humpbacks, orca and the gargantuan blue whales feed in the nutrient-rich
waters and offer opportunities for memorable encounters.
Watchful glaciers stand guard over a horizon of ceaseless inspiration
and the entire journey is relished from an exciting, ice-hardened
ship. Brash ice plays a melodious tune as it is cast aside by the
determined hull and ice sheets metres thick are skewered by the
ship as she creates her own landing wharf.
Join us on a voyage to the pristine wilderness of Antarctica -
a voyage that may well change the way you see the world.
