You are here, you are a polar explorer (a very comfy 21st century explorer, albeit nothing like what Amundsen or Shackleton would call Polar Exploration), you get to experience another unique, memorable, breathtaking day in Antarctica. Today couldn’t be any better!
It is another exciting opportunity to walk along this pristine environment, witness the expansive beauty, hear the bubbling of the glacier ice in the water, smell the guano from the penguin colonies, and if your zodiac is traveling fast enough taste a bit of the salty water on your face. You are truly able to immerse all of your sense in this unbelievable place.
While there is a cyclical rhythm to the days aboard the Magellan Explorer for our Antarctica expedition cruise, there is nothing repetitive about it as every moment is unique. In Antarctica you can’t predict what experience you will have next.
A zodiac ride to explore various ice formations, and check out the tidewater glaciers, gives you the chance to see a glacier calving into the sea.
Another zodiac ride offers you the surprise of up close whale watching. As sleeping humpbacks wake up and their curiosity leads them to swim directly under your zodiac. Showing off their enormous size but unbelievably gentle nature.
Each shore landing is unique, from penguin colony visits and the joy you get from watching them waddle around looking for rocks to build nests. To the skuas circling the nests looking for a penguin egg to steal for lunch.
You can’t predict what a day in Antarctica will bring but you can guarantee it will be memorable and unlike any other day you’ve experienced.
