Serengeti's Frozen Counterpart

Antarctica travel reveals the dramatic extremes of a frozen continent, filled with magnificent wildlife.

Far below the southern tip of South America lies the awe-inspiring continent of Antarctica. Vast colonies of penguins cover rolling hills of ice, great whales feed in the nutrient-rich waters, and millions of fur seals loll about on drifting ice floes. Once thought of as an immense wasteland, this frozen counterpart to the Serengeti is a whirlwind of wildlife set amidst breathtaking geography. The backdrop of massive blue-tinged icebergs, hanging glaciers, and magnificent near-vertical mountains astound even the most seasoned traveler. A journey to Antarctica is truly a once-in-a-lifetime voyage to the last unspoiled continent on earth.

A number of ships ply the Antarctic waters, from Russian icebreakers to expedition cruise ships with strengthened hulls. Most trips depart from Ushuaia, though itineraries vary and cruises range from 10 to 23 days in duration. The ships carry no more than 198 passengers and so, relative to the destination, are considered small and personal.
