A voyage to the Ross Sea is an epic adventure exploring the least visited, wildest and historically significant destinations Antarctica has to offer. Regarded as the ‘heart of Antarctica’, it is undoubtedly one of the most pristine and untouched landscapes on Earth, accessible to only the privileged few. The Ross Sea is the largest ocean wilderness left on our planet home to 12 whale species, 5 seal species and the world’s largest colonies of Adélie penguins. Located as far south as one can go by sea, the Ross Sea became the launching point for the race to the South Pole during the ‘Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration’. Your voyage will follow in the footsteps of the great explorers including James Clark Ross, Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton. On route to and from the Ross Sea you will also have the opportunity to discover the prolific and unique flora and fauna of the NZ Subantarctic Islands.
