Antarctica & South Georgia 2025


Join me on this quintessential polar voyage, as we follow in the footsteps of the great explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, best known
for the Endurance Expedition in 1914–16, famous as a story of remarkable perseverance and survival. We will experience the
magnificent icy landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula, home to extraordinary icebergs and entertaining penguins. Further north,
we sail into the spectacular Antarctic Sound and navigate as far as possible into the Weddell Sea, where Shackleton’s Endurance
met its fate. We will then make our way to Elephant Island, the desolate outpost where Shackleton and his men finally made landfall
after 497 days at sea. The final leg of our voyage will take us across the Scotia Sea to South Georgia, where Shackleton’s voyage
reached its remarkable conclusion. We will spend our time exploring and photographing the rugged mountain scenery and huge
congregations of wildlife, including the largest king penguin colonies on Earth.
