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.
