The Ross Sea | Antarctica Adventure Travel

DISCOVER
THE ROSS SEA

A PRISTINE
ENVIRONMENT

For those looking to go further off the beaten path, Antarctica offers opportunities to delve even deeper into the white continent. The Ross Sea, a deep and biodiverse bay dividing East and West Antarctica, defines that experience– its remoteness makes it one of the most pristine marine ecosystems on the planet.

Protected by distance, latitude and a vast band of sea-ice, the Ross Sea remains as iconic and challenging a destination as it was to Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen over a century ago. To voyage here is to follow in the footsteps of these giants of polar exploration and for the very same reason; it is the southern most point a vessel can reach; and the closest coastline to the South Pole.

EXTRAORDINARY
EXPERIENCES

For the exclusive few that reach these high latitudes the rewards are immense; Antarctica’s isolation, pristine environment, vast landscapes and enthralling wildlife are interlaced with a captivating and inspiring human history that traverses both triumph and tragedy.
EXTRAORDINARY
EXPERIENCES

A voyage to the Ross Sea takes a vessel deep into ‘true Antarctica’ at latitudes of 70-80 degrees South. As such it offers a very different Antarctic experience to the more ‘traditional’ visit to the Antarctic Peninsula.
EXTRAORDINARY
EXPERIENCES

Crossing the Southern Ocean allows participants to transition gradually between summertime Australia and the polar climate of Antarctica. Albatross and seabirds, whales, icebergs and the polar convergence all serve to mark the pathway to Antarctic.
