ANTARCTICA<br />
SEEING ANTARCTICA FOR THE FIRST TIME will steal your breath away. Few places on Earth are<br />
this vast and otherworldly, with raw, sculpted landscapes awash in blue and white. This is nature<br />
at its most flawless—an experience sure to transform you.<br />
THE IDEAL TIME TO EXPLORE IS THE ANTARCTIC SUMMER which starts in November, when<br />
the cold, windy weather turns to 24-hour sunlight and temperatures rise to a comfortable 32˚<br />
Fahrenheit. In this season the ice melts, unlocking seaways that were frozen in winter. This is the<br />
optimal time to visit, often with relatively open water, clear weather and endless views.<br />
ANTARCTIC ACTIVITIES range from relaxing to active. Zodiac excursions and shore landings<br />
give you unparalleled opportunities to view and photograph wildlife at sea and on shore, while<br />
optional excursions offer cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or overnight camping and take you<br />
into seldom seen parts of the peninsula. Participating in ongoing scientific research with our<br />
Viking Resident Scientists will get you closer to your destination.<br />
AS MEMBERS OF IAATO, we abide by all their regulations to ensure safe, responsible visits<br />
to Antarctica.<br />
