Antarctica is truly beyond! Join a team of naturalists, marine biologists, and WWF-Australia's scientists aboard the Ocean Endeavour on one of two incredible itineraries to Antarctica. Have the chance to learn about their non-invasive whale research project as you search for humpback and minke whales, seals, and penguins. Explore the ice-filled waters by Zodiac as well as setting foot on the world's most remote continent. Most of the world’s whale species are found in Antarctica, living alongside more than 9,000 other species, half of which are seen nowhere else in the world. Sadly, as climate change and krill fishing increase, Antarctica’s whale populations face growing challenges to their food chain and survival. With a scientific focus on preserving this unique ecosystem, this is a journey you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.
