Antarctica: Going Boldly
Towering ice, majestic whales, polar plunge, and penguins, of course: there’s no place on earth like Antarctica, and no trip like a National Geographic – Lindblad Expeditions expedition!
Stress-Free Travel Planning for Unforgettable Adventures
Remote. Untrammeled. Spectacular. Exploring Antarctica is one of the most exhilarating adventures on Earth. There are many reasons to go. See scores of penguins and whales. Fall under the spell of sculptural ice: an entire museum of colossal and magical ice forms defying description. And add the dashing history of the Heroic Age of Exploration.
More than 50 years ago, Lars-Eric Lindblad took the first group of “citizen” explorers to Antarctica in 1966. Since then, the Lindblad family has operated hundreds of Antarctic expeditions. This is a level of “institutional” experience that ensures your safety and a rich encounter with the region that no one else can offer.
