Evocative, captivating and inspiring, Antarctica is the most remote place on earth and for many is quite simply the pinnacle of travel. Extraordinary scenery is matched by exceptional wildlife encounters in the world’s last true wilderness area. Our Antarctica guide provides both practical and inspirational information to help you get the most of your holiday.
Put the camera down. No words can describe how it feels to be immersed in the intense nature of Antarctica. Take a stroll with a king penguin, watch a baby seal gang rough and tumble at your feet, and whatever you do, stop, take a breath and really feel it. It's wild.
