The science of


the Antarctic


Join New Scientist for a fly cruise expedition
exploring the world’s largest ocean sanctuary
and most pristine marine ecosystem. Follow
in the footsteps of the great explorers and
scientists such as Shackleton and Amundsen,
whilst marvelling at imposing icebergs, ancient
glaciers, and ice floes onto volcanic beaches.
Accompanied by experts in science,
exploration, and wildlife.

Highlights



  • Sailing aboard the brand-new MV Magellan
    Explorer expedition vessel. Purpose built for
    the Antarctic and with a minimised carbon
    footprint.

    with guest speakers and onboard experts to
    deliver a unique programme of science and
    polar focused seminars and talks.

      covering glaciology, exploration, marine
      biology, conservation, photography, living
      and working in the Antarctic and the
