10 | Antarctica Destination Guide
DISCOVER THE WILDLIFE
Prepare to be captivated by majestic creatures
against the backdrop of Earth's most
awe-inspiring sceneries. 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.
The "White Continent" offers animal
encounters unlike any other destination,
with the likes of gentoo penguins, leopard
seals, orcas and albatross regularly gracing
expedition guests with their presence.
See migratory birds circling overhead and
humpback whales breaching in the waves.
Each creature that inhabits these regions has
its own story to tell, weaving a rich tapestry of
life and adaptation in one of the planet's most
extreme environments — a testament to the
resilience of nature.
SEE THE LANDSCAPES
Encounter vast icy plains that stretch endlessly,
with blue-tinged glaciers and towering
mountains. Icebergs drift quietly, their
crystalline forms glistening in the sun, dominate
the serene polar waters. Enchanting bays,
carved by ancient forces, invite exploration and
unveil secrets frozen in time. These polar realms
stand as testaments to the raw power and
fragile harmony that exist within Earth's most
extreme and mesmerising corner.
Antarctica offers a vast, white wilderness
whose ethereal beauty is hard to fathom—one
of the few places on Earth that truly puts into
perspective the expansiveness of the planet,
and the almost microscopic presence of us
mere mortals. The treeless panoramas of snow,
ice, water and rock in this southernmost desert
are unlike any other, with few plants able to
survive Antarctica's harsh conditions — the
coldest on earth.
From exploring the depths of the Southern Ocean to unwinding in
e Nordic Spa, here are some of the highlights you can look forward
to on an expedition to Antarctica.
