Antarctica Aboard the National Geographic Explorer

Glide around enormous tabular icebergs by Zodiac, walk along beaches covered with thousands of penguins, and kayak among abundant wildlife. Learn about Antarctica denizens, climate, explorers, and politics as you travel with Expedition Leaders who have hundreds of journeys under their parkas. On every expedition, two penguin researchers, supported by a joint fund with National Geographic, are on board, and they invite you to participate in penguin studies. An undersea specialist captures rarely seen footage of life beneath the icy surface, which you can view in the comfort of the ship’s lounge.
