____________________

Antarctica may be at the end of the Earth, but Lindblad been bringing guests here for decades— safely sharing all the wonders of this vast land and sea. Join them to experience the thrill of crunching through the sea ice aboard the fleet of three state-of-the-art expedition ships to see scores of penguins and whales. People come for the wildlife but fall in love with the ice: an entire museum of colossal and magical ice forms defying description. And you`ll get a front seat to the dashing history of the Heroic Age of Exploration. Armed with a flexible itinerary that allows us to go where conditions are best and wildlife is most active, you`ll experience all the splendor of Antarctica. Venture into channels and coves framed by towering peaks. Watch whales play off the bow; glide around enormous icebergs in Zodiacs; photograph penguin colonies with a National Geographic photographer; and hike, kayak, and even possibly cross-country ski in complete tranquility.

Highlights:
-Explore the world`s last great wilderness in the company of a team of top naturalists celebrating Lindblad`s 50-plus years of expedition heritage
-Hike on magnificent mountains and see huge glaciers, plus observe thousands of penguins: gentoos, Adelie, and chinstrap
-Kayak in protected waters, paddling as penguins swim nearby
-Zodiac cruise in ice-choked channels and land on distant shores to explore on foot
-Early November departures offer the possibility to cross-country ski or snowshoe across the frozen sea ice, conditions permitting
