Antarctica is a land of superlatives and extremes, and without a doubt one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. The fifth-largest continent, it is the highest, most arid, most isolated. More than 99 percent of it is covered in ice. It is the least explored and least inhabited; utterly devoid of trees or even shrubs, the vast, wind-swept expanse has no native vertebrate animals or culture. Yet people are drawn to this place again and again. |

Antarctica is said to be the coldest, driest and windiest place on earth, but that hardly describes its attractions as a tourist destination. This immense wilderness is a fabulous and virtually pristine paradise for wildlife with incomparable scenery of mountains, snow and ice. It is a privilege to visit this awe-inspiring continent and to experience the special magic that has lured explorers, adventurers and scientists for more than two centuries and - most recently - world travelers. Taking advantage of the long days at the height of the Austral summer, November through to March, we explore vast colonies of penguins, observe some of the great whales, watch hundreds of seals resting lazily on ice floes, and marvel at the extraordinary variety of shapes, sizes and color of icebergs. The vistas are magnificent, with towering glaciers and dramatic cliffs that drop almost vertically into the sea. Everything in Antarctica appears to be built on a scale that is larger than life. Endless expanses of ice-covered sea, landscapes of jagged mountains, immense glaciers and windswept tundra, the Arctic’s very nature is dramatic. Polar bears and seals feeding among the floes. Arctic seabirds diving from craggy cliffs. The groan of breaking ice under the bow of a giant ship. The dark ribbon of our progress viewed from the air as you speed in a helicopter above the frozen sea. This is the Arctic world we invite you to explore. From Wrangel Island to Frobisher Bay, from the Bering Sea to the Geographic North Pole, we want to share our passion for this remote, spectacular region that's unlike anywhere else on Earth.
