London, 05 May. The frozen wilderness of Antarctica is one of the planet's last remaining natural frontiers. Its hostility, isolation and sweeping beauty command respect - over 14 million square kilometres of harsh, snowy expanse and towering sheets of ice ringed with ocean and providing a wondrous natural habitat for a wide array of wildlife.

As you follow in the footsteps of Shackleton and the Endurance, you'll encounter immense, deafeningly loud colonies of penguin on the pack ice, seabirds clinging precariously to the edges of cliffs, elephant seal and orca doing battle in the freezing waters, and you'll discover just how brilliant white can be.

We have over 25 years of experience in organising successful Antarctic expeditions, negotiating these barren polar wastelands and glacier-carved coves. There's no better way to explore this ridiculously photogenic and endlessly fascinating landscape than one of our unique Antarctica cruise holidays - the perfect blend of luxury, adventure and epic scenery.
