You may feel, as we do, that if you make the journey to the bottom of the world you may as well stay awhile. On this far-reaching expedition to the islands of the South Atlantic Ocean and the Antarctic mainland, you will revel in 19 awe-inspiring days of exploration. Busybody penguins in rookeries by the thousands, behemoth icebergs reflecting startling greens and blues, humpback whales feeding on krill, and, of course, the continent-sized sweeping ice sheet of Antarctica. |

Our participants say...
Thank you and the rest of the staff for all you have done to give Anne and me the TRIP OF A LIFETIME! Antarctica is, without question, my favorite place on earth and penguins are my new favorite
creatures! Words cannot begin to describe the majesty and pristine
beauty of the place and as for penguins, I could watch them for hours! Anne got whale "blow" on her face and glasses as a humpback whale blew right beside the Zodiac and then dove under it. So many adventures, so many incredible memories, I cannot thank you enough for your part in making it all flow together so seemingly effortlessly!
