‘Walk’ around the World in Just a Few Steps 🐧
The South Pole & Emperor Penguins (7 days) expedition is our most popular adventure. And we have limited availability for this season.
Venturing to the most southerly point on Earth, standing at 90° South means you are at the point where all lines of longitude converge. This unique geographic feature also allows you to literally walk around the world in just a few steps.
Best of all you also get to experience the rare privilege to visit an Emperor Penguins colony with this expedition.
“Come and engage with Antarctica in an authentic, purposeful, and respectful way. This is travel that leaves a positive legacy.” Riaan Aucamp, Ultima Antarctic Expeditions CEO.
