Highlights

  • Celebrate the crossing of the Antarctic Circle at latitude 66°33' South (approximately)
  • By Zodiac, explore hidden bays and quiet coves hoping to spot whales, penguins, and ice seals such as Weddell and crabeater seals.
  • Visit fascinating historic sites including explorers’ huts and scientific stations.

Venturing below the Antarctic Circle is about more than just earning bragging rights. It is the chance to enter a different world more rarely seen, it feels more isolated and colder than further north, with great swathes of pack-ice and dreamlike icebergs. Thread through pack ice and narrow channels where scenes of ice-clad mountains, feeding whales and lively penguin colonies become lasting memories.
