Take to the skies on your seven night expedition with us, and fly in search of the Emperor Penguin colony. Staying within the strictest guidelines to protect these creatures, once we've landed, a short walk will take us within sight of the largest of all penguins on Earth, measuring up to 122cm in height, and 40kg in weight. The colony consists of fluffy chicks, awaiting their parents’ return from the ocean with a fresh meal, couples re-uniting with each other and huddling against each other for warmth.

A truly remarkable sight awaits. Learn more here, https://ultima-antarcticexpeditions.com/

A fairytale on ice.

Imke Meintjes and Jesse Wollenschlaeger, two adventurous souls with a penchant for the wild, have made history by becoming the first female couple to tie the knot at the Schirmacher Oasis, a stunning and remote deep-field location in Antarctica.

The ceremony, held against the backdrop of Antarctica's breathtaking landscapes, was an intimate affair attended only by the couple, their wedding officiant, and a photographer. Surrounded by pristine ice lakes and bathed in the ethereal glow of the Antarctic sun, Imke and Jesse exchanged vows that spoke of their unwavering commitment to each other. To celebrate their devotion for each other, they popped a bottle of champagne and then slowly, hand-in-hand they walked over the ice to the frozen lake where they shared their first dance, mesmerised by the magnificent chandeliers of icicles formed off the ice sheet.

A truly monumental moment that we are grateful to have played a role in.
