Antarctic Explorer
Exclusive member offer - book in January or February 2010 and save £50 per person
The South Shetland Islands and the channels of the Antarctic Peninsula form arguably the most spectacular and certainly the most pristine wilderness on earth.
This is an astonishing adventure into the heart of the Peninsula. It is a heady and inspiring cocktail of towering blue icebergs which refract searing blues and greens, whether against a piercing clear sky or a slate grey one. It is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife: penguins of almost all descriptions, leopard and smaller seals and the incredible whales, seen from the shore, the Zodiacs and from on board. This is a journey that appeals to many: photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, ornithologists or those who simply want to marvel at the peaks of Deception Island or the striking colours of Iceberg Alley in the most immaculate wilderness anywhere.
