____________________
This voyage has it all: the impossible beauty of the Antarctic ice, the vast king penguin colonies of South Georgia, and the Falklands` amazing albatross colonies. Not even the mass migrations of Africa can rival the awesomeness of seeing a king penguin colony of tens of thousands individuals stretching as far as the eye can see. You`ll have other rare sightings here too: massive, in both senses of the word, herds of elephant seals: and a wandering albatross stretching its 11-foot wings. It`s the impossible beauty of an Antarctica trip exponentially increased by unimaginable numbers of animals. For most travelers, visiting Antarctica is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So for those with the luxury of time, including the Falklands and South Georgia just makes sense. And it makes for a genuine experience of a lifetime.
Highlights:
-Trace the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton`s fateful journey in 1914 aboard Endurance, and toast his gravesite in South Georgia
-See three distinct regions and benefit from our 50 years of experience here
-Early November departures on all ships offer the possibility to cross-country ski and showshoe across the frozen sea ice, conditions permitting
-Create incredible images of the ice and vast penguin colonies with help from a National Geographic photographer
