Antarctica Adventure: Most remote wilderness in the world

A voyage to the Southernmost continent

Extreme by any measure, Antarctica is a place beyond the imagination of most travelers. The coldest, windiest, driest, most remote place on earth—Antarctica is radically different than nearly any experience you may have had in your life. Almost the entire continent—98 percent—is covered in ice that is thousands of years old. The largest Antarctic land animal, an insect called a midge, is no bigger than a coarse grain of sand. See orcas, penguins, albatross and seals. Finally, walk on the southernmost continent, a rare and rewarding experience.

Highlights:

Journey to Earth's most remote continent!
See some of the most stunning wilderness on earth.
View extraordinary concentrations of versatile wildlife such as penguins, seals and giant petrels.
Glide alongside icebergs, as glacier fields rise up to rugged mountains.
Ride a Zodiac raft to shore, then walk on the continent, a trek few people have ever made.
Enjoy this once in a lifetime trek with a friendly group of gay men, lesbians and friends. (Please note that this is not a charter, so our group will be among other passengers on this 122-passenger ship.)
Please note that exact dates and prices will be announced in mid-2009.
