Watch the drama of life unfold
DESPITE BEING ONE OF THE COLDEST, DRIEST AND
DARKEST places on Earth, Antarctica is anything but
dormant. In this isolated, otherworldly destination
where the only resident humans are scientists, diverse
wildlife thrives amid the extreme conditions. Animals
bustle and thrive under the midnight sun, as native
penguin and seal species compress the cycle of life
into a short season, and migratory birds and whales
take advantage of the ocean's rich bounty. Each day
affords a new opportunity to witness nature at work,
revealing the resilience and extraordinary adaptations
of life in Antarctica's unforgiving landscape.
The White Continent offers animal encounters unlike
any other destination. Gentoo penguins, leopard
seals, orcas and albatrosses regularly grace guests
with their presence. While Emperor or King penguin
sightings are rare but exhilarating. Expect to witness
penguins sliding on the ice and fur seals lazing in the
sun. See migratory birds circling overhead, humpback
whales breaching or orca pods striking coordinated
attacks on their prey. The things you see in this wild,
remote corner of the globe will live with you long
after you return home.
