Spotlight on:

Antarctica

For the extreme traveller, read on for some useful links to assist you in planning the ultimate extreme holiday at a destination most people only ever dream of visiting.


ANTARCTICA 

For many people Antarctica is the impossible destination - impossible to get to, impossible to afford, impossible to understand. But for a few special adventurers, Antarctica has always been about possibilities - exciting, breathtaking possibilities.  Humans never inhabited Antarctica and exploration of the continent is relatively recent.

 

It is the only region left where new discoveries continue to be made. In 2007, for example, our vessels, while exploring the Antarctic Peninsula, sailed uncharted waters.

For many, perhaps, the most appealing aspect of Antarctica is its wildlife. Although there are only a few native species, those that have adapted to the harsh environment thrive in large numbers.

  Penguin populations are counted in the tens of thousands in some rookeries. Antarctica is devoid of power lines, billboards, and highways. There  are no designer coffee shops or cellular networks. When the engines are turned off, the only sounds you hear are natural - wildlife, water and the occasional boom of icebergs calving. If you listen closely, you can hear your heart beating with excitement!...'  More
 
Quark Expeditions offer a 15 day adventure 'crossing the circle' during which during which you are offered an average of three activities per day off the ship while in the Antarctic Peninsula, onboard educational programs and the option of camping and kayaking.   More...
