Take this once-in-a-lifetime voyage deep into Antarctica's farthest regions. Only a lucky few get to see this incredible region of Antarctica since the Weddell Sea's ice is too thick to travel on for the most of the year. A uncommon sight on any other Antarctic trip, observe the enormous tabular icebergs floating by and keep an eye out for emperor penguins. Rich in polar history, the Weddell Sea is where Ernest Shackleton's ship, Endurance, got stuck in the ice and led to one of the most amazing survival and rescue tales of all time. On this genuinely unforgettable journey, advance your exploration of Antarctica.
