10% Off Springtime South Georgia

It is truly ‘action stations’ for this short and intense period of time as we witness the stirrings of life in high

encounters and our expert team provide interesting talks on the places we visit.

discount).
10% Off Wild Weddell Sea
Vast ice shelves, tabular bergs, strong currents and sweeping vistas; the Weddell Sea is celebrated for its
world-renowned fossil deposits, huge penguin rookeries and two great Antarctic survival epics: Shackleton’s loss of
Endurance, and the sinking of Nordenskjold’s Antarctica. Our dedicated palaeontologist, Dr Jeffery Stilwell, from the
MONASH University, will assist in interpreting the fascinating history of this remarkable landscape through interesting,
interactive talks.
The 12 day ‘Weddell Sea Explorer’ departs 28 February – 11 March 2014 and starts from US$7,380 per person (including

10% Off In Shackleton’s Footsteps
Follow the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s fateful Imperial Transantarctic Expedition as we enter its centennial year. We retrace his heroic journey from the Weddell Sea to Elephant Island, then on to (and
across) South Georgia. ABC presenter and palaeontologist, Dr Paul Willis, will join the expedition to interpret the
ancient landscape and regale the inspiring story of Shackleton’s extraordinary journey.
Expeditioners also have the chance to join the Alpine Crossing and follow Shackleton’s route through inner South
Georgia. Our qualified climbing guide leads a small group of ‘crossers’ along the 35 to 50 kilometre route, over two to
