SALES INCENTIVE.ANTARCTICA EXPERIENCE

Aboard the Antarctic Explorer

This journey takes us to one of the world’s most awe inspiring destinations.

With visits along the way through the South Shetland Islands we arrive on the mainland, on the Antarctic Peninsula and are dazzled by perhaps the most dramatic scenery to be found anywhere on earth.

Sailing aboard our well-appointed expedition vessel, we see Antarctic nature in all its glory. These areas boast an extraordinary abundance of wildlife, including five seal species and massive penguin rookeries of gentoo, Adelies and chinstraps as well as a profusion of seabirds from albatross to skuas.

A wildlife highlight may well be watching a variety of magnificent whale species in close proximity as they crest the surface of the waves.

incentives-antarctica On the White Continent, we also see remarkable landscapes of ice. At Paradise Harbour or Hope Bay we find many icebergs dotting the waters, including some that are colossal in size, containing natural caves shrouded in an eerie translucent light.

On land, there is a sweeping ice sheet, masking mountains and filling trenches binding together an entire continent that is about the size of Africa.

We’ll even have the chance to camp ashore on this expanse of ice if conditions are suitable.

Even in the company of our experienced expedition crew, some of whom have travelled to Antarctica over 100 times, it still seems astonishing to think of the early explorers attempting to conquer this beautiful, yet formidable land.
