AntarCtica for Beginners
Antarctica’s Seasons will assist you in deciding when you want to go. Antarctica Books will give you insights into the continent’s history, wildlife and more. What to Pack will relieve you of worries about how much bundling to bring, and Life On Board Our Ship will give you an idea of the creature comforts available on an Expedition ship.
All of the links below open in their own tab, so you can navigate freely.
Antarctica’s Seasons
Expedition Ships begin visiting Antarctica in late October and continue through late February or early March.
Life On Board our Ship
There’s no ‘typical day” in Antarctica (that’s what we love about it!), but here’s a little taste of what you might experience.
Books about Antarctica
Our crack Expedition Team’s favorite books on all things Antarctica. History, stories, guidebooks, animals, birds and more.
What to Pack
The best clothing is a layered system with an outer layer that is waterproof. The air between the layers provides additional insulation.
