À propos de cette tournée
Join award-winning photographer Paul Goldstein on this incredible adventure, the only one in the industry that visits the remote Snow Hill Island (home to 8,000 emperor penguins) plus the rarely visited Eastern Antarctic Peninsula with glaciers, icebergs, snow-capped mountains, whales and seals. We sail on the technologically advanced Ultramarine, which is equipped with two twin-engine helicopters.Prioritising our time with five days near Snow Hill, our team factors in local ice conditions and the unforgiving Antarctic elements in our goal of getting everyone ashore to the emperor penguin colony.
