An
Antarctic cruise may not provide ideal conditions for sunbathing on deck,
but there is nothing quite like it for adventurous souls who yearn to see
and experience the beauty and spectacle of Earth's most remote and
unspoiled place. A cruise to the great "White Continent" also provides
unique opportunities for face-to-face encounters with the wildlife that
dwell in this icy realm, including gentoo and chinstrap penguins;
crabeater, Weddell and leopard seals; humpback and killer whales; and kelp
gulls and nesting Antarctic terns.
The natural beauty the
Antarctic region leaves visitors spellbound. Awe-inspiring vistas include
snow-capped peaks, sheer cliffs, icebergs and ink-blue waters. The coldest
and windiest of all seven continents, Antarctica has no native or
permanent human residents - only scientists and specialists, who live
there a few months at a time, and cruise passengers who enjoy the rare
opportunity to visit. |
