Although it is the Austral Summer, it may seem to be a Winter Wonderland and the perfect place to celebrate Christmas and the holiday Season. On this magical journey explore the Worlds largest wilderness with historic sites and wildlife – see penguins, seals, seabirds and whales in their natural environment. Each day will also celebrate one of the different holiday traditions from around the world. This seems fitting while in a land effectively owned by no one, yet collectively managed and protected by the Antarctic Treaty Nations.
