Introduction


BOOK NOW!
Join a breathtaking and unique journey that leads you to the most impressive and illusive of all penguin species - the Emperor, which, unlike other penguins, make their colonies on the actual sea ice.

Travel by sturdy icebreaker and helicopter past giant tabular icebergs to witness the awe-inspiring sight of Emperor penguins interacting with each other, under the atmospheric light of an austral spring at Snowhill Island.

Emperor penguins travel long distances across the ice to find open water to feed, and with the capabilities of the icebreaker hopefully see them in their rookeries as well as on the ice edge in their battle for survival. Great care will be taken not to jeopardize the integrity of these beautiful birds - there are well-established guidelines when moving around fragile wildlife areas such as these.

Although the focus of the expedition is the majestic Emperor, the aim will be to visit other penguin colonies on the Antarctic Peninsula and take in as much of the spectacular White Continent as possible. This is a brand new voyage for 2006!
