Antartica

An increasingly popular and very different destination is the 'white continent' of Antarctica with its dramatic scenery and unique wildlife. Here you will find no beaches or tourist infrastructure.

You will however have an opportunity to see the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights), breathtaking glaciers and majestic icebergs floating by in a pristine sapphire coloured sea. This spectacular continent is twice the size of Australia, and 95 percent ice covered - its rich environment attracting large numbers of birds and sea mammals.

The majority of the wildlife are found on the narrow ridges of coastline skirting the islands and mainland and can best be viewed from the sea; birds courting, penguin colonies, seals basking in the sun and whale sightings. It is one of the best wildlife trips in the world!
