Antactica Example Adventure
August 30th, 2006Antarctic Explorer - 11 Days starting at: $8,350.00 CAD land only
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 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. Imagine a pair of Humpback whales, at least 14 tons of mammals, rising imperiously against a turquoise ice-wall viewed from a zodiac only a few meters away, and you have the essence of the Antarctic. 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 colors of Iceberg Alley in the most immaculate wilderness anywhere.
