Destination: Antarctica |
An Antarctic cruise may not
provide ideal conditions for sunbathing on deck, but there is nothing
quite like it for adventurous souls who yearn to see and experience the
beauty and spectacle of Earth's most remote and unspoiled place. A
cruise to the great "White Continent" also provides unique opportunities
for face-to-face encounters with the wildlife that dwell in this icy
realm, including gentoo and chinstrap penguins; crabeater, Weddell and
leopard seals; humpback and killer whales; and kelp gulls and nesting
Antarctic terns.
The natural beauty the Antarctic region leaves visitors spellbound.
Awe-inspiring vistas include snow-capped peaks, sheer cliffs, icebergs
and ink-blue waters. The coldest and windiest of all seven continents,
Antarctica has no native or permanent human residents - only scientists
and specialists, who live there a few months at a time, and cruise
passengers who enjoy the rare opportunity to visit.
