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

whilst marvelling at imposing icebergs, ancient

glaciers, and ice floes onto volcanic beaches.

Accompanied by experts in science,

exploration, and wildlife.
