East Antarctica may take some effort to reach, but these longer expeditions explore some of the least visited, wildest and most historically significant regions of the White Continent. Only a few East Antarctica and Ross Sea expedition cruises depart each year from Australia and New Zealand.
These intense journeys usually span 25-30 nights in the peak Austral summer months of January and February, with the season limited due to sea ice accessibility.
Did you know Antarctica is surrounded on all sides by Sub-Antarctic islands? Most of them are mere specks in the Southern Ocean – not even shown on most world maps. However, these unique, beautiful, and biodiverse islands are rarely visited by travellers and are ideal for anyone seeking a rugged and remote adventure!
Sub-Antarctic cruises usually visit several islands, which can include:
MACQUARIE ISLAND
Macquarie Island is one of the most incredible, and least visited, regions of Australia.
