"A land of ice, and snow, and cold,
Antarctica is a sight to behold.
A world of silence, and white,
A place where nature reigns, in might."

Snippet of poem by Mohammad Muzzammil

One of my favorite moments from our time bellow the Antarctic circle was once we entered the sea ice.. the combination of calm still water, and the tiles of the broken up sea ice created a perfect foreground for the incredible atmosphere and light in the background mountains of Antarctica.

It’s been incredible having our *Young Explorers Antarctica* scholarship winners from Escuela Julio Verne () in Ushuaia on board this voyage! After all their hard work on essays and presentations, these bright students are now experiencing the magic of Antarctica firsthand—what a full-circle moment!

Our friends from The Curious Traveler really snagged some great footage on our last voyage!

A big, warm PL family welcome to our new ship 'Ocean Albatros'! Voyages on our new expedition vessel begin November 2026.

"Beneath the sleek exterior of the Albatros lies decades of learning and adaptation to the harsh Antarctic environment. It’s patented X-BOW offers unprecedented stability and comfort; its many onboard amenities are designed to maximize your Antarctic experience; and its spacious heated mudroom with four exterior doors makes zodiac boarding quick, safe and effortless."

Today we wish The Boss (Sir Ernest Shackleton) a very Happy Birthday. We are lucky to visit his gravesite regularly in Grytviken South Georgia, share his incredible life story with our guests, and cheers him with a dram of whiskey. This year, we were also fortunate to pay a visit to Cape Rosa - the only landing site on the western coast of South Georgia and the location of Shackleton's first landfall after the harrowing James Caird voyage.

While you might journey to Antarctica with your love—perhaps to get engaged, tie the knot, or even honeymoon in this enchanting place (because, hello, penguins mate for life and give stones as romantic gestures!), the real romance lies in Antarctica itself. Each day we spend there, we fall in love with it all over again. Happy Valentine's Day!

One of those epic Antarctica days 😍 It doesn't get any better than this!

A stunning shot from one of our favorite spots, Neko Harbour. Says Expedition Guide and Photographer , "It's a magical place where the crenellated glacier and the electric blue ice cliff face provide one of the most stunning photographic backdrops on the continent. I have been lucky enough to visit this special place several times. It never gets old."

Can you believe just THREE voyages left in our 24/25 season?! Next trip kicks off in just a couple days. We hope to see you on board.

Thanks to guest for this video about his camping experience.

"The polar night in Antarctica is the ultimate extreme camping experience! When I decided to take an expedition to the 7th continent, I had no idea camping was a possibility. There are no hotels and unless you work at a research base, this is the only way you can actually sleep overnight on land. Check out the video for how we did it and see who raided our camp in the middle of the 'night'!"

Mornings like these 😍
"This morning I woke up to a pod of whales all around the ship that I could see outside my bedroom window and was bigger than I could count. Then the weather was so warm and beautiful in Neko Harbor that for a while I had to take off both coats, my hat, my scarf, and my gloves!...Suffice it to say… this has been (and continues to be) one of the greatest experiences and privileges of my lifetime. Thank you to everyone at Polar Latitudes from the bottom of my heart!!!"
Thanks to guest Mani for the kind words, we love to hear it!

We Are All Explorers

From the minute we are born, we are born to explore. To discover the world around us, to seek out life-shaping experiences, to indulge our boundless curiosity. Adulthood and the distractions of modern life have a way of making us forget that. Antarctica has a way of making us remember.

At Polar Latitudes, everything we do, we do with a spirit of exploration in our hearts, and with Antarctica front and center in our minds. When you journey with us, you are an explorer, too, traveling to the most remote place on earth – here to explore, to discover and, quite possibly, to be changed forever. We deliver a boutique small ship experience that offers a more close-up, personal and ultimately unforgettable experience to every explorer onboard. We embrace a spirit of improvisation and wonder as we seek out unique opportunities, whenever and wherever Antarctica offers them to us. And our expedition team is chosen for both their skill and their passion. We believe they are second to none in both those categories.

Discover Antarctica. You might just discover yourself.
