and the Falkland Islands Antarctic Peninsula


This unique voyage explores the extraordinary landscapes and wildlife of the Falkland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula in the company of scientists and photographers. Researchers will be on-board to give you an unprecedented insight into life on two Antarctic stations, and wildlife photographers will conduct outdoor workshops to help you take that picture-perfect shot of a passing albatross, or close-up view of an adorable penguin.
