Join me on this expedition in March 2025:

ANTARCTICA
Beyond the Polar Circle - Wilkins Ice Shelf - Aurora Australis 

21 March – 5 April 2025 (15 nights)

This voyage explores a number of historically significant Antarctic areas, such as the very rarely visited Bellingshausen Sea, Marguerite Bay, and Alexander Island. We focus on places discovered by Adrien De Gerlache on his Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–1899) and Jean-Baptiste Charcot on his French Antarctic Expedition (1904–1907).

Spring 2025 marks the best chance to see the rare aurora australis, also known as the southern lights. Unlike the northern lights, the southern lights travel over no cities or villages and are only rarely seen from land. The sun’s 11-year cycle of activity peaks around 2025, making for more active auroras that are best seen around the equinoxes. We will maximize our chances of seeing the elusive and enchanting southern auroras by traveling below the Antarctic Circle when there is little moonlight in the sky. We will also have the chance to see many Southern Hemisphere stars and celestial objects, including the Southern Cross and Magellanic Clouds.

A Rare Antarctic Adventure!

Embark on a true expedition to one of the most remote and rarely visited regions of Antarctica: the Bellingshausen Sea, Marguerite Bay, and Alexander Island. This extraordinary voyage traces the path of Adrien de Gerlache and the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–1899) aboard the Belgica, exploring the untouched places they first discovered.

Departing from Ushuaia, we journey beyond the Antarctic Circle, immersing ourselves in the stunning wilderness this region offers. The variety of landscapes and wildlife here rivals few other places on Earth.

Highlights include:

- Visits to Antarctic ice shelves and uninhabited islands where only a handful of people have ever set foot.
- Opportunities to spot exotic wildlife, including humpback whales, minke whales, orcas, and seals such as leopard, elephant, crabeater, Weddell, Antarctic fur, and possibly the elusive Ross seal.
- Birdwatching for species like gentoo and Adélie penguins, skuas, terns, and giant petrels.
- This awe-inspiring journey offers a rare chance to explore a part of the world far from the beaten track of regular Antarctic cruises. Prepare to witness breathtaking landscapes and unparalleled biodiversity in one of Earth’s last true frontiers.
