antarctica
There is a long list of reasons why a voyage to Antarctica is so special. The environment is pristine, dramatic and extreme. It’s the coldest, highest and driest continent on earth, and there’s nothing quite like it for those travellers seeking to experience the beauty and spectacle of Mother Nature at her very best. Rivers of ice and mountains, hundreds of thousands of years old, tower above you while expansive bays breach with astoundingly bountiful wildlife. From the majestic Antarctic Peninsula to the wild and rugged South Georgia, and to the monumental ice shelves of Commonwealth Bay, the opportunities are varied and exciting.
