  • Photograph some of the largest, most ornate, and most extensive iceberg formations on the planet
  • Take pictures of abundant and highly visible polar wildlife, from seabirds and penguins, to seals and whales
  • Take advantage of pure skies, astonishing air quality, and guidance from renowned guest photographers
  • Capture the almost unreal hues cast by polar sunlight on sea and land ice
  • Enjoy almost around-the-clock daylight during the austral summer for epic photography opportunities

Antarctica photography tours offer utterly singular photographic opportunities: armadas of mountainous, blue-tinted icebergs arrayed in mirror-calm water; jagged black mountains skeined with flawless white snow and ice, looming over beaches cluttered with seals and penguins; the vast ethereal blank of the polar plateau, whipped by the ferocious wind into sastrugi formations and overhung by pristine blue skies or dreamlike stacks of wave clouds; ranks of spiky nunatak peaks punching out of ice-sheet expanses in the Antarctic interior. An Antarctica photo expedition is as bucket-list as they come!

Whilst any tour down here affords ample, once-in-a-lifetime possibilities for professional and amateur shutterbugs alike, for those wanting to learn more about the peculiarities of polar photography, the penguin paparazzi wanting to nab magazine-worthy Antarctica penguin photos at the most coveted rookery locations, or those who merely want to mingle with like minded lens lovers, there are specialty Antarctica photography cruises available with Antarctica photography workshops and lectures on board led by renowned Antarctica photographers.
