ORYX’S PHOTOGRAPHIC CRUISES TO ANTARCTICA TAKE US TO ONE OF THE WORLD’S ULTIMATE WILDLIFE AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY DESTINATIONS!
There is little on Earth that can compare to the sights that await the intrepid photographer on these exceptional Antarctica photography tours, and we guarantee that you will be left with memories and photographs to last you a lifetime! As for the remarkable aura of this magical place, in part this stems from its sheer remoteness, and also from the amazing history of its exploration by the brave men who battled such incredible hardships to open it for further exploration. However, the rugged mountains, coastlines, islands and icebergs that so challenged these initial heroic individuals now delight the modern traveller, and we can finally journey to this fabled land in safety and comfort. The scenic settings are as magnificent as any on earth, and the scale of nearly everything on our Antarctica photography tours is absolutely grand to say the least. Our Antarctica photography tours are truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and we can expect fantastic Antarctica photographic opportunities, ranging from vast penguin colonies that are a visual delight, highly approachable seals and sea-lions, dolphins, whales, spectacular icebergs of an amazing variety of colour and form, awesome sunsets and absolutely unparalleled scenery, so join us as we visit a destination like no other!
Embrace the spirit of early polar exploration on this classic voyage with Aurora Expedition to the white continent. Sail the legendary Drake Passage, surrounded by sweeping ocean and spectacular seabirds, arriving in Antarctica as the first explorers once did — by sea. Explore further by Zodiac through shifting pack ice, step onto the continent itself, and choose from a range of immersive adventure activities. You may even find yourself camping beneath soft, pastel polar skies — making this the quintessential Antarctic experience for those drawn to true expedition travel.
Immerse yourself in the icy realm of the Antarctic with an optional paddling excursion, gliding silently through frozen waters surrounded by towering ice, drifting pack ice, and extraordinary wildlife encounters.
This unforgettable experience forms part of our 11-day Antarctic Marine Mammals: The World of Whales & Seals itinerary, exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. Designed in collaboration with marine ecologist Ari Friedlaender, the journey offers exceptional opportunities to observe migratory whales including minke, humpback, and fin.
Onboard, guests can engage in active citizen science through a dedicated Science Hub, supported by a Happywhale research associate, contributing to global whale identification efforts and a deeper understanding of this fragile polar ecosystem.
Antarctica by Helicopter Crossing the Circle and the Peninsula
Crossing the Antarctic Circle at 66°30′ is a rare polar achievement reserved for only a handful of travelers.
Quark Expedition's 14-day Antarctica by Helicopter: Crossing the Circle & the Peninsula expedition brings that experience within reach, combining a journey deep into the 7th Continent with multiple helicopter flights included throughout the voyage.
Soar above vast ice fields, step directly onto the Antarctic landscape from a helicopter, and witness polar environments once seen only by early explorers and mountaineers.
