ANTARCTICA Expeditions
Antarctica is the most Southern continent, overlying the "South Pole". Visitors to Antarctica generally must brave rough sea crossings aboard ice-strengthened vessels, but those who do are rewarded with amazing scenery and tremendous and unique wildlife.
We also added the South Shetlands islands which are currently covered by the Antarctic Treaty where all territorial claims are suspended.
