Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia on the Douglas Mawson

This extraordinary expedition combines two of the world’s most isolated ecosystems, revealing wildlife sightings not possible anywhere else on earth. Whilst the penguins, seals, whales and albatross may be seen as the main attraction, the abundant beauty and serenity of the wandering icebergs and imposing mountain peaks should never be an underestimated part of the enthralling experience. Along the way you will also uncover a fascinating history of whaling, scientific research and polar exploration – in addition to its abundant wildlife South Georgia is perhaps best known as the final resting place of legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.
