It's an image!

Immense icebergs, enormous rookeries of penguins, stunning landscapes few have ever witnessed—a true adventure to the world's most remote wilderness, this 11-day expedition will introduce the traveller to the magic of the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula. This frozen frontier is home to some of the planet's most incredible wildlife and dramatic landscapes and the M/S Expedition will bring you there safely and comfortably. Better still, expert guides and crew provide context to the sites and bring alive the region's remarkable natural history. Prefer to sail in November or December 2011? Then checkout our Antarctica Classic in Depth (XVAESX) departures. These departures include 2 extra days of exploring the Antarctic Peninsula with rates lower than our Antarctica Classic (XVCASX) departures!

        Experience some of the most unique wildlife viewing and inspiring scenery in the world as you set foot on the Antarctic continent. Attempt two shore landings per day (weather conditions permitting), and encounter gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguin rookeries, Weddell, crabeater and leopard seals, and orca, humpback and minke whales in the cold Antarctic waters. The peninsula also has a remarkable human history. During the voyage we will learn about some of the most important and dramatic expeditions to this remote corner of the world.
