Photography expedition to Antarctica

Aurora Expeditions will be hosting a photographic expedition to Antarctica where passengers will be accompanied by two professional photographers, David Burren and Martin Bailey from LuminOdyssey. This 25 day trip is available for just 27 passengers and is suitable for all levels of both film and digital photographers. Prior to the trip David and Martin will be available to advise regarding photography equipment. During the passage to Antarctica they will present classes and seminars to help prepare guests for the Peninsula & Falkland Islands, and these will continue throughout the voyage.

Beginning in Ushuaia at the Southern tip of Argentina and heading south over the Drake Passage to spend a week on the Antarctic Peninsula before cruising north. Time will be spent exploring the historic and rich wildlife at Vernadsky Station, taking in the spectacular rugged coastline from Lemaire Channel to the Gerlache Strait as you head northwards to King George Island. Expect to see fur and elephant seals as well as adelie, gentoo and chinstrap penguins. Continuing north, passing the spectacular cliffs of the Falkland Islands, home to an abundance of breeding birds and the world's largest black browed albatross colony at Steeple Jason Island then towards Atlantic Patagonia. Following the steps of Darwin, guests will explore the wildlife, visiting Puerto Desaedo, Bahia Bustamante and the waters around Peninsula Valdes and the spectacle of orcas feeding on young sea lions at Punta Norte before sailing into the port of Mar del Plata.
