Today is a flexible exploration day in the Ross Sea Region, with your Captain and Discovery Leader selecting the best experiences based on weather, ice and wildlife opportunities. This remote and rarely visited part of East Antarctica is a stronghold for Adélie and Emperor penguins, as well as Weddell, crabeater and leopard seals, and several whale species.You may find yourself cruising past sculpted sea ice, tracing the coastline of Victoria Land, or exploring bays and headlands that have inspired generations of polar explorers.
