Ross Sea & East Antarctica – from Australia & New Zealand
Explore the region that boasts the world’s largest floating body of ice (the spectacular Ross Ice Shelf) and the largest Adélie penguin colony. Follow in the wake of legendary adventurers, to discover historical huts and hear extraordinary tales of endurance as you relive the heroic age of exploration.
“The tranquillity of the water heightened the superb effects of this glacial world. Majestic tabular bergs whose crevices exhaled a vaporous azure; lofty spires, radiant turrets and splendid castles; honeycombed masses illumined by pale green light within whose fairy labyrinths the water washed and gurgled. Seals and penguins on magic gondolas were the silent denizens of this dreamy Venice. In the soft glamour of the midsummer midnight sun, we were possessed by a rapturous wonder—the rare thrill of unreality.”

Delight in some of the most abundant and unique wildlife on earth in New Zealand’s Subantarctic Islands, including yellow-eyed penguins, sea lion harems and courting southern royal albatross.
“The sub-Antarctic islands will always be my favourite destination! I spent 4 years studying the plants on Australia's sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island where I was immersed in the sights, sounds, smells and weather extremes over 4 summers. As a botanist, the plants of the sub-Antarctic islands are particularly enthralling - the spectacularly colourful megaherbs, the orchids that thrive in the cold conditions and the tussock grass that is taller than a person, literally holds the islands together and provides habitat for millions of seabirds.”
