Below 60º South latitude lies the immense white continent of Antarctica, a land that surpasses the imagination in scenic grandeur. Regarded by scientists and world travelers alike as one of the last truly pristine regions on Earth, the Antarctic Peninsula’s ethereal icescapes and prolific wildlife make it a photographer’s utopia and a naturalist’s wonderland.

Ever-flowing glaciers churn up gravelly paths on the shoulders of massive peaks. Blue-tinged icebergs, some miles long, rise out of placid waters. Wildlife abounds — beaches resound with the bellows of fur seals, a chorus of seabird calls echoes from the cliffs, and penguins waddle and bellyride the slopes. Well-preserved, historic explorers’ huts are intact with whale-oil lanterns, well-worn cooking utensils, and maybe even a yellowing newspaper of the era.

Our voyage is complemented by a visit to South Georgia Island, which supports more wildlife in sheer numbers than anywhere else on Earth; hundreds of thousands of king penguins blanket the beaches and hillsides. In the Falklands, rolling hills are interspersed with bogs and small lakes, creating a habitat for penguins and seabirds that nest among tall tussock grass, while seals and whales cavort along the seacoasts.

Join us for this journey to the “bottom of the world” that only a lucky few are privileged to visit.
