Why sail in<br />
Antarctica<br />
with PONANT<br />
• For the extraordinary scenery, including<br />
ice floes in the Peninsula, jagged<br />
mountains in South Georgia and long<br />
plains covered with moss and lichens in<br />
the Falklands;<br />
• To get up close to the magnificent icy<br />
giants, which are composed only of<br />
fresh water and glide along the sea like<br />
crystal cathedrals draped in a mantle of<br />
snow white and azure blue;<br />
• To discover exceptional wildlife*:<br />
Gentoo, Adélie and chinstrap penguins,<br />
king and macaroni penguins, humpback<br />
whales, sea leopards, black-browed<br />
albatrosses, Weddell seals, Cape petrels;<br />
• To sail in the wake of great explorers<br />
such as James Cook, Jean-Baptiste<br />
Charcot, Sir Ernest Shackleton or Paul-<br />
Émile Victor;<br />
• To discover exceptional sites including<br />
former whaling stations, scientific<br />
research stations, and of course<br />
Shackleton’s famous tomb;<br />
• To spend Christmas & New Year’s Day in<br />
Antarctica in the heart of remote lands,<br />
surrounded by incredible landscapes of<br />
ice and water.<br />
*As each trip is different and subject to the prevailing<br />
weather conditions and chance encounters, the wildlife<br />
described above illustrates possible experiences only<br />
and cannot be guaranteed.<br />
