This is the time for bird lovers to scan the skies for some of the 45 species of Antarctic seabirds that have made their home in the region, such as skuas, petrels, and terns. There, nature reigns supreme and we are mere visitors. Our experienced captain will constantly assess the weather conditions in order to plan the best possible itinerary for your adventure.
