One of the most exciting destinations on the planet for both landscape and wildlife photography is Antarctica. The enigmatic white continent is without doubt the premiere and sought after location for Polar Photography on our planet. With its monumental icebergs, towering mountains and glaciers and plethora of wildlife it offers the intrepid photographer a unique and powerful photographic experience.
One of the problems with almost all expeditions to Antarctica is the sheer number of people visiting ships can accomodate. In recent years there have been virtually no sub 100 passenger vessels (and many are now 200+ passengers) traversing the icy polar waters and this remains a major problem for photographers. With strict IATO restrictions across Antarctica, passengers and photographers have been forced to wait their turn for an all too brief period of photography on the continent with no more than 100 souls aloud ashore at any one time. Now, I am extremely excited to announce that my company Wild Nature Photo Travel has fully chartered the completely refitted Polar Pioneer and we will be returning to the Great White Continent in December of 2023 on a dedicated expedition for photographers.
With a capacity of just 52 photographers we will all be able to all land at the same time and spend hours ashore at each of our landing locations. Our choice time-slot of December 8th – December 21st 2023 is absolutely ideal for both ice and snow; whilst providing us a fantastic opportunity for a potential landing at Deception Island and a subsequent cruise through the spectacular Lemaire Channel – a landscape photographers paradise.
Wether you are a seasoned Antarctic veteran, or a first time traveller, this expedition is sure to offer you unparalleled and unique opportunities not offered anywhere else. You will be one of just 52 photographers on a dedicated expedition designed solely to offer the best possible photographic experiences – A return to the Great White Continent!
