Emperors & Mountains of Dronning Maud Land

Fly from the beautiful Antarctic gateway city of Cape Town to experience a rarely visited and hauntingly beautiful part of Antarctica. From our very comfortable base in the Schirmacher Oasis we plan to fly by Twin Otter to the Astrid Emperor Penguin colony on the edge of the Nivl Ice Shelf, Lake Untersee (home to 20,000 pairs of nesting Snow Petrels and 3 billion year old stromatolites) and the magnificent Drygalski Mountains. We also plan to visit some stunning ice features close to our base. This is a trip for lovers of nature, photography, exploration, geography, geology, aviation, adventure, Emperor Penguins and more.

This is an opportunity to experience remote rarely visited locations and capture images and memories of a lifetime in the company of a very small group.

Experienced guides and crew will help us locate and observe and capture fabulous images of a range of diverse and unique behaviour both from our vessel and in the water.  We will also have the opportunity to explore coral reefs and may encounter other marine megafauna including pilot whales, dolphins, manta rays and potentially even whale sharks.  We will have 8 days on the water to maximise time for quantity and quality encounters and ten nights in peaceful waterfront accommodation.
