Antarctica’s season begins in November and runs until late March. Within these five months, the continent is a treasure trove of the world’s greatest wildlife displays. With the arrival of Spring, the warming oceans are brimming with plankton attracting orca and minke whales. Penguins and fur seals are busy breeding, and birds are nesting. The landscape is at its most spectacular, with vast blocks of pack ice forming exquisite shapes on the dark water and the mountains draped in a dazzling carpet of pure white snow.Â
Visit Antarctica in the summer months, and you will enjoy 18-24 hours of daylight and your best chances of seeing the humpback whale migration. Finally, as the season draws to a close, tiny life forms are getting ready to leave the safety of their nests. Seal pups and penguin chicks are all around learning new tricks for survival through play, which is endlessly enchanting to watch. There is no best time to visit; the season brings something new and unexpected every day.
Selecting the perfect exploration vessel is crucial to getting the best out of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. At True Travel, we only work with boats in Antarctica that meet our high standards of crew, guiding and service. Our team will discuss your wishes and select the best vessel for you. Some operators are fantastic for thrilling Antarctic adventure experiences such as deep-sea diving or snow camping; other boats are perfect for a more gentle and erudite exploration with world-class lectures and Guest Speakers on board.
