Camping in Antarctica
A once-in-a-lifetime experience, camping in Antarctica is an activity that should not be missed. On some Antarctica cruises Aurora Expeditions offers the opportunity to spend the night on the ice, and supplies all the equipment needed for safe and comfortable camping; such as tents and sleeping bags. There is no better way to absorb the silence and deepen your appreciation of this special place.

Kayaking in Antarctica
Kayaking quietly through the crystal clear waters of Antarctica is another way to have an intimate experience with Antarctica, allowing you to get close to wildlife and amazing scenery. Cruises to Antarctica bring new experiences to savour every day, from face to face encounters with whales, to paddling to the edges of a penguin rookery or past seals sleeping in ice floes, or just enjoying the awe of being surrounded by giant icebergs.

Scuba Diving in Antarctica
For the more adventurous, there is an opportunity for experienced divers to scuba dive below the Antarctic Circle. Diving in Antarctica offers not only ice, but also an extraordinary array of marine life, such as penguins, seals, and a variety of Antarctic fish.

Climbing in Antarctica
Aurora Expeditions has always been at the cutting edge of climbing exploration in the Antarctic Peninsula, and our mountain guides have forged new routes on many of the continent’s magnificent peaks. Antarctica offers experienced climbers hundreds of unclimbed peaks. Also, if you have always longed to follow in the footsteps of the great Antarctic explorers, Aurora Expeditions offer cruises to Antarctica that retrace the epic journey of Sir Ernest Shackleton, repeating his alpine crossing on foot from King Haakon Bay to the now deserted whaling station at Stromness on the fabled island of South Georgia.

Guided Shore Excursions
Guided walks and lectures by Aurora Expeditions’ expert team of naturalists, historians, geologists, and expedition staff provide another dimension to your Antarctic cruise. Aurora Expeditions Antarctic cruises provide maximum wildlife viewing opportunities, and also visit a number of historic sites and scientific research stations, such as the British Antarctic base of Port Lockroy; the Ukrainian Vernadsky Research Base, and Argentinean Almirante Brown Antarctic Base. Imagine the look on your friends’ faces when they receive a postcard from the end of the earth!
