Lands of discovery
Footsteps of Explorers
Even if Antarctica remains very enigmatic today, think about what it must have been like more than a century ago. British explorer James Cook ventured there as early as 1773. Adventurers followed in their droves. From Captain Charcot to Sir Ernest Shackleton, or Roald Amundsen, who was the first to reach the South Pole, or, more recently, Paul-Émile Victor, these men have tried to unravel the mysteries of the ice floe.
Iconic animals
A true sanctuary for wildlife, Antarctica teems with marine mammals and seabirds that gather along its icy shores to breed. In the water, Weddell seals, Minke and humpback whales, sea leopards, and subantarctic fur seals offer an enchanting spectacle. On land and in the air, king, gentoo, southern rockhopper, and chinstrap penguins, alongside soaring albatrosses and gliding petrels, bring the landscape to life in a mesmerizing display of movement and sound.
