Epic Antarctica: The Peninsula to the Ross Sea & Beyond
TAKE YOUR PLACE AMONG ANTARCTICA’S BOLDEST EXPLORERS
EMBARK ON A NEW VOYAGE MADE POSSIBLE BY THE
extreme ice capabilities of our new expedition ship, National Geographic Endurance. Discover the seventh continent as few ever have or ever will. Venture into the
epic landscapes of remote West Antarctica where we are sure to set foot on ice few other humans have. See the
prolific wildlife and impressive ice shelf of the Ross Sea region. Walk among a colony of hundreds of thousands of king penguins and be among the few to have shared a beach with royal penguins, endemic to Macquarie Island. By special permit, explore these sub-Antarctic islands of New Zealand and Australia, World Heritage Sites for the
thousands of seals and millions of penguins, including huge colonies of king and royal penguins. This is wildness and wildlife at its finest, seen before only by the likes of Scott, Ross, Amundsen, and Shackleton.
