In the footsteps of explorers (and penguins)

For centuries, avid travellers and explorers have been fascinated by Antarctica, a place where penguins congregate in the hundreds of thousands and people are few and far between. An ever-changing landscape of glaciers and icebergs make for wild realms ripe for adventure. Along the isolated East Coast, Australia has a rich history of exploration thanks to the pioneering efforts of explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. You’ll have the rare opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Mawson and his team, navigating remote bays and ravishing coves and islands where wildlife rules supreme, in the company of only up to 200 guests led by an expert Polar Discovery Team. Dive deep into the pristine waters in our custom-designed submersible Scenic Neptune^, or take to the skies in our state-of-the-art helicopters^ for unforgettable experiences.
