It is a profound experience to set eyes
upon Antarctica for the very first time.
Few places on Earth are this vast and
otherworldly, with raw, sculpted
landscapes awash in blue and white.
This is nature at its most flawless —
an experience sure to transform you.
Here is a land of paradoxes: the world's
biggest desert that is also the world's
largest ice sheet, nearly two miles thick.
Virtually unexplored just 150 years ago,
this continent belongs to no nation,
and is protected by an international
treaty for peaceful scientific pursuit.
As every modern explorer knows –
no matter how many magnificent
places you visit, there is always another
one out there, just waiting to be seen.
For many that once-in-a-lifetime
destination is Antarctica.
Viking Expeditions opens up the
possibility of putting some of the
planet's most wondrous, once
out-of-reach places firmly in your
grasp. Antarctic activities range from
relaxing to active. Zodiac excursions
and shore landings give you
unparalleled opportunities to view
and photograph wildlife at sea and on
shore, while optional excursions such
as cross-country skiing or snowshoeing
offer the chance to experience the
peninsula in a more unique way.
Participating in ongoing scientific
research with our experts and scientists
will provide even more context to this
incredible part of the world.
If you've visited six continents already,
you can finally set foot on the last
continent and return home knowing
you've walked in the icy footsteps of
the great explorers.
