Your first step on the 7th continent will take place in the most readily accessible part of the Antarctic Peninsula, the most northern stretch of Antarctic land. Stepping foot on the 7th continent is a moment of pleasure and excitement that affects each traveler differently.
On land you’ll encounter wildlife in abundance, and have the chance to stand amongst enormous penguin rookeries, and from the deck of the ship see Minke and humpback whales at close range.
