Introduction
END OF AN ERA
This voyage is part of our 'End of Era' voyages for your last chance to sail on this renowned icebreaker.
1911 was a remarkable year in Antarctic exploration. In January, Robert Falcon Scott and the members of his expedition anchored off Ross Island in the Ross Sea. His intention was to be the first person to reach the South Pole. By December, the single most important goal of Antarctic exploration had been achieved by Roald Amundsen from his base camp in the Bay of Whales.
This voyage, which celebrates their achievements and also visits the Emperor Penguins of the Ross Sea, will be joined by the Director of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust,Nigel Watson. Nigel has held this position since 2000, and will be sharing his passion for the history of Antarctica and its conservation. The NZAHT cares for the expedition bases left by Scott, Shackleton and Borchgrevink in the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica.
