Antarctica In Search of the Emperor Penguin Adventure Cruising
Antarctica In Search of the Emperor Penguin Adventure Cruising
A true adventure, this cruise in the Weddell Sea sets out to explore the range of the emperor penguins near Snow Hill Island. We visit the area via helicopter and see a variety of other birds and penguins including Adélies and gentoos. Helicopters provide an advantage in reaching the emperor penguin colony, but nature makes the rules in Antarctica. Our itinerary will vary depending on the weather and ice pack.
Minimum Age: 15
