Ross Sea depart from Queenstown: Sometimes referred to as ‘the heart of Antarctica’, the Ross Sea region is the last great unspoiled part of the world’s oceans. To date there has only been minimal exploitation, and to enter this region of Antarctica is a privilege, with only a few hundred people able to visit each year. It is a popular way to see Antarctica from a different perspective, as access to the White Continent is made via New Zealand and includes exploration of the Subantarctic Islands. Cruise Highlights: In the Wake of Scott & Shackleton Queenstown return There is so much to do and so much to see here, from exploring historic huts and sites to visiting penguin rookeries, marvelling at the glacial ice tongues and ice shelves, and understanding the icebergs and sea ice. Then there are all the seabirds, seals and whales to observe and photograph, modern scientific bases and field camps to visit and simply the opportunity to spend time drinking in the marvellous landscape that has always enthralled visitors. Dates: 7 Jan to 3 Feb & 2 Feb to 1 Mar 2025 Duration: 28 days Aboard: Heritage Adventurer Price from: AU$49,995 pp* / NZ$53,500 pp* twin share Don't miss out on this extraordinary adventure.

On Day 5 of her adventure our CMO, Mindy, shares one of her favourite experiences at Whichaway: the ice waves and tunnels. Incredibly picturesque and entirely surreal, you can't help but feel like you're on another planet. Watch below for more. #antarctica #travelvlog #whitedesert #whitedesertantarctica #whichaway #luxurytravel
Day 5 of my Personal Video Diary with White Desert Antarctica. One of my favourite experiences at Whichaway is our ice waves and tunnels. At this time of the year (late Jan / early Feb) there is water in the ice tunnels and so we can’t access them but instead we get to see the magnificent blue rivers! Nature always has the best colours and the blue of the rivers seems unreal. The weather was spectacular with not a breath of wind and eating a chicken poke bowl on top of a wave made from ice, filling my lungs with this incredible air always leaves me in awe of nature and so very appreciative of this Antarctic experience. #antarctica #travelvlog #whitedesert #whitedesertantarctica #whichaway #luxurytravel

The Race to the South Pole: A Tale of Courage and Comradeship. In the heart of our planet lies a frozen giant, Antarctica: a land of immense beauty and unforgiving challenges. Seven times larger than its northern counterpart, the Arctic, Antarctica has been one of the last frontiers to be explored. 1770: Captain James Cook embarks on a daring voyage, marking the beginning of humankind's quest to conquer this icy wilderness. Subsequent expeditions followed, each driven by an unwavering determination to reach the South Pole: the ultimate prize in this polar adventure! The journeys were fraught with peril. The explorers faced relentless cold, treacherous terrain, and limited resources. Yet, they persevered, fueled by an indomitable spirit and a deep bond of camaraderie. With every step, they forged unbreakable bonds of friendship, relying on each other's support and unwavering loyalty to overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that lay in their path. Their courage and selflessness were testaments to the power of human connection, demonstrating that even in the face of extreme adversity, the bonds of friendship and compassion could provide the strength to conquer the most formidable challenges. This is just the beginning of the story to see who will win the race to the South Pole. But let me save that story for another day, my friend. #challenge #adventure #teamwork #exploration #spirit #storytelling

Drake Passage 🌍 🗺 The Drake Passage, named after the 16th-century English explorer Sir Francis Drake, is a body of water that lies between South America’s Cape Horn and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It was first discovered by Spanish navigator Francisco de Hoces in 1525, and it was first traversed in 1616 by a Flemish expedition led by Willem Schouten ⛵ This passage is known for its treacherous voyages. The currents at its latitude meet no resistance from any landmass, and waves can top 40 feet (12 m), earning it the reputation of being "the most powerful convergence of seas". Some of the world’s strongest ocean currents flow through the Drake Passage because they don’t meet resistance from any landmass, allowing streams of water to generate a huge amount of force 🌊

This month’s Destination of the Month is Antarctica!🇦🇶🧊 Antarctica, whose beauty has been described as jumping straight into the pages of a National Geographic magazine, is located in the Earth's southern hemisphere and is centred asymmetrically around the South Pole and south of the Antarctic Circle.🗺️ When looking to charter Antarctica on a yacht, guests typically leave from the Ushuaia port in Argentina. From here, they pass through the Drake Passage to the South Shetland Islands. In 10 to 11 days, it is possible to cover 600 nautical miles which allows guests to see the best parts of Antarctica including Port Lockroy, Deception Island, the Weddell Sea, the Danco Coast, the Crystal Sound, and the Antarctic Circle.🛥️⛵️ The virtually uninhabited space is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most visitors due to its location and facilities. Travel experts suggest the best time to take a trip to Antarctica is during its summer, between October and March. This is when the days are longer and the weather is milder, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit. At this time sunlight can last 20 or more hours a day – wow!⛅️ The ice-covered landmass, which contains 70% of the world’s fresh water and 90% of the world’s ice, boasts spectacular sights. This includes a wealth of majestic wildlife in their natural habitats, such as roaming colonies of penguins, herds of seals, whales, albatross, various bird species, and more! 🐧🦭🐋🦅 Have you ever enjoyed the wonders of Antarctica?💭 Let us know in the comments below!
