Antarctica

This extraordinary continent grows out from the South Pole with steep mountainous islands to the west and vast plateaus to the east.


Walk amongst the penguins, gaze at gigantic floating icebergs, spot whales coming up for air, and visit iconic spots like Shakleton’s Elephant Island before swimming in the thermal springs of Deception Island.


Visitors sleep aboard their vessel, ensuring a comfortable night out of the cold; however, there’s nothing to stop you camping on the ice, should you choose!
