Antarctic Peninsula

Explore one of the last true wilderness areas left on earth, largely unchanged since early explorers and whalers first landed on its shores less than two centuries ago. Today Antarctica continues to entice travellers to its cold and windy shores, despite being at times one of the world’s most inhospitable destinations. 

This uninhabited and isolated continent possesses some of the world’s most impressive wildlife and dramatic landscapes.  An awe-inspiring collection of mountains, rivers of twisting ice and great sweeping deserts of snow provide an unforgettable backdrop to your nature experiences.

The multitude of wildlife in the area is a sight to behold.  Vast crowds of penguins rub shoulders with seal colonies while orcas and other whales can sometimes be seen plying the waters offshore.  The oceans of the Antarctic are home to countless marine mammals including breaching humpbacks, fin, sei, minke and killer whales.  Dolphin species include Hourglass, Peale's and Commersons's.  On land there are the ferocious leopard seals, as well as weddell, crabeater, southern elephant and Antarctic fur seals, colonies of penguins including gentoo, chin strap and adelie penguins.  The skies are home of wandering, royal and black browed albatross, giant petrels and terns to name a few.
