Departing from Port of Bluff, experience the unique beauty of New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic floral and fauna in Campbell Island. Venture into the infamous Ross and Amundsen Seas where you can rub shoulders with Adelie penguins, killer whales, Crabeater seals, Ross seals, and numerous amazing seabirds and wildlife. Get your camera ready as you are going to helicopter onto the floating Ross Ice Shelf, and set foot on the rarely visited volcanic Peter I Island before crossing the Antarctic Circle.
