Ross Sea - Antarctica
During our time in the Ross Sea region, we'll explore historic and scenic locations, with our itinerary flexible due to weather and ice conditions. We will visit Cape Adare, home to Antarctica's largest Adelie Penguin rookery and the historic Borchgrevink’s Hut. At Cape Hallett, we’ll discover towering mountains and abundant wildlife, including Adelie Penguins and Weddell Seals. Franklin Island offers a rugged landscape teeming with seabirds, while we’ll cruise along the massive ice cliffs of the Ross Ice Shelf, the world's largest floating ice body. Our journey will also take us to Ross Island to visit Shackleton’s and Scott’s huts, and, conditions permitting, modern research stations. Finally, we'll experience the Italian research station at Terra Nova Bay, learning about ongoing polar science, all amidst breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters that bring the history of Antarctica to life.
