Antarctica Emperor Penguin Safari - Snow Hill and South Georgia

Few people have been fortunate and privileged enough to experience an emperor penguin rookery. The largest of the penguins, emperors are the only birds that breed on the frozen sea. During this extraordinary voyage, we will visit their rookeries on endless expanses of pack ice surrounded by stunningly sculpted tabular icebergs. Our visit is perfectly timed to coincide with large numbers of delightful penguin chicks huddling together on the ice. From our closest approach by ship, we walk over the ice to the rookeries or, taking great care not to cause any disturbance, use the helicopter to land at a safe distance nearby.

But there is even more to this voyage than emperor penguins and, during the trip, we hope to experience some other extraordinary penguin rookeries: Adélie and gentoo penguins. We expect to see several different Antarctic seal species, whales, and a wide variety of other wildlife along with some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth.
