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.
