Nature, Culture & Beyond: Things to Do in Antarctica

Antarctica is full of incredible experiences to make each trip to the White Continent truly unforgettable. Traditional destinations are based on sightseeing cities and landmarks but travelers now have the opportunity to see one of the last great wildernesses of the world in Antarctica, with a variety of unique and adventurous activities. Wildlife watching is a very popular activity with the opportunity to see penguins, seals, whales and seabirds thriving in their natural habitat. Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adélie penguins nest on the shores and visitors may see them. Humpback and minke whales and orcas often visit the nutrient-rich waters around the continent. Zodiac cruises are an enjoyable way to explore hidden coves, huge glaciers and impressive icebergs, to experience Antarctica from a unique point of view and to get closer to wildlife and untouched environments.
