Antarctica Classic
Antarctica is a land of mystery and beauty, the last part of the globe to be explored. It was for centuries a land of conjecture but today it is a reality and this expedition provides the perfect introduction to a world of exceptional beauty encompassed in one of the harshest landscapes on earth. Life in Antarctica is confined to its coasts and it is around these shores that we will explore visiting vibrant penguin colonies, historical sites and absorbing the majesty and beauty of the world’s last great wilderness.
