Highlights of The Southern Spring

9 Days Albatros Expeditions

About This Itinerary

Explore Antarctica in all its pristine and wildlife-rich glory, as the continent awakens from its long winter slumber. This voyage offers the perfect introduction to Antarctica for those whose time may be limited, but whose spirit of exploration is boundless. Prepare yourself for a trip into a lively environment populated by penguins courting mates and building nests, the passing of newly adrift icebergs, and colorful sunsets that most photographers only dream of. This is the time of year when your chances of spotting another ship on the water are at their lowest.
