Polar plunge For the brave and bold, there is an option to literally dive into Antarctica at the end of one of the landings. A plunge into the icy-cold water for a few seconds will undoubt- edly get your blood pumping. Only a few guests on each expedition ever take up the challenge. Will you? Hiking* Join the Expedition Team on long hikes handpicked by them and based on their deep and extensive knowledge of exploring the Antarctic Peninsula. Reaching the best viewpoints may involve some effort, making it all the more satisfying when you do. Expedition boat cruising Even though your expedition ship is specially designed for sailing in Antarctica, there are limits on where it can go. This is where our small explorer boats come in. Enjoy gliding through the water as you take in views of the surrounding white landscape and floating icebergs. You might spot seals, penguins or whales feeding on krill. Lectures/talks and Science Center Your expert Expedition Team will be delivering lectures on a range of topics, such as geology, marine biology, history, photography, and ornithology. This will be in the ship's onboard Science Center, out on deck, ashore during a landing, or when cruising in small boats. You'll have access to the ship's Science Center, a treasure trove of information on Antarctica and other des- tinations. There are advanced microscopes here to analyse rock, soil and water samples taken from the field which are usually full of microscopic life for you to discover. Citizen Science You can also get involved in a variety of projects that ask you to document wildlife or aspects of the environ- ment. Your photos are then uploaded to scientific organi- sations around the world. Not only do you engage with nature, but you'll con- tribute to important research too! Snowshoeing* This activity is only pos- sible when snow conditions are right, which is usually late spring or early in the Antarctic summer. Equipped with modern snowshoes, you'll easily walk on the soft snow and reach places that are normally difficult to get to just on foot. Camping* Who wouldn't want to spend a magical night ashore on Antarctica? Best experienced with soft snow in late spring and early summer, camping is a popular activity and num- bers are limited. Who gets to go usually has to be decided by a lottery system. Feeling lucky? On deck guiding Enjoy the art of relaxation as you cruise the Antarctica with great views and good company. Our Expedition Teams are on board to make your trip better with useful information to make you learn even more about the amazing surroundings.
