True Polar Presents
Antarctica presents an extraordinary and otherworldly experience shaped by its extreme climate and impressive landscapes. Accessible primarily during the Antarctic summer, the continent offers 18-24 hours of daylight, ideal for experiencing the dramatic scenery of icebergs, glaciers, and vast ice sheets. Here, visitors will be met with unique wildlife such as penguins in their breeding season, seals, and whales. As the summer progresses into March, the weather begins to cool, the ice starts to refreeze and a different perspective comes to life. Visitors can enjoy the transition to the harsh Antarctic winter, and explore one of the planet’s most remote and pristine frontiers for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Unlike many of Africa’s other safari orientated destinations, Botswana remains a destination that can be visited throughout the year.
The summer rainy season a viable time to travel, thanks largely to how well the rains drain through the sands of the Kalahari Desert that covers much of the country. This, coupled with amazing wildlife viewing and prices that can be less than half of what they are in the drier winter months, it is an incredible time to visit for those that don’t mind the heat and some rain storms.
That said, the traditional dry season months are still incredibly popular and offer some of the finest game viewing anywhere in Africa.

Whether you choose to set off on your Antarctica adventure from Argentina or Chile, you’ll have the opportunity to pass a number of remote islands in the South Atlantic Ocean.
The South Shetland Islands are about 200 km north of the Antarctic Peninsula. There are more than 20 wild islands in the archipelago, including King George Island, where several scientists and research stations are based. Several whales, seals and penguins frequent these coastal shores providing incredible opportunities for wildlife photography. Over 80% of the islands are glaciated, and the towering black rocks that punctuate the landscape contrast with the shocking white of the ice and snow.
