Christchurch & Mt Cook with Antarctica’s Ross Sea:

Majestic Ice & Wildlife
27 Days | Christchurch > Christchurch | Departs 26 January 2026
Unlike anything you have experienced before, an expedition to Antarctica’s Ross Sea region will create stories for life. End-of-the-Earth landscapes, gem-like glaciers, immense tabular icebergs and jagged mountain ranges are the setting for some of the planet’s most prolific wildlife displays.
Visit Shackleton’s preserved hut at Cape Royds on Ross Island from his 1907-1909 Nimrod Expedition. Land by Zodiac at Cape Evans to walk through Scott’s Hut, a poignant monument offering a glimpse into the golden age of Antarctic exploration.
Soar across the horizon and take in a unique view of Antarctica. Enjoy an exclusive helicopter flight^ and landing at the McMurdo Dry Valleys, a Mars-like landscape and the driest place on earth. 
Be inspired by the dramatic landscapes of East Antarctica. From the dramatic presence of Mount Erebus, Antarctica's southernmost active volcano, to kayaking~ alongside the towering cliffs of Ross Sea Ice Shelf.
Experience an icy wilderness teeming with life with the opportunity to encounter unique wildlife such as Emperor penguins, Ross and Weddell seals, minke whales and orcas. Visit Cape Royds, on the western coast of Ross Island, which is renowned for its Adélie penguin colony.
