Join this unprecedented trip and travel with New York Times science writers, Henry Fountain and James Gorman, on this expedition to the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula. Witness the grandeur of this most remote of continents and learn first-hand the ways in which climate change may be altering its role in the global ecosystem as you travel aboard L'Austral—a certified "Clean Ship" by the Bureau Veritas. You might experience the quiet beauty of Neko Harbour, meet the penguins of Paradise Bay, or discover the remnants of Deception Island's historic whaling station. Each day—whether on land, aboard the ship, or during a Zodiac outing—you will be surrounded by magnificent icebergs and ancient glaciers as you sail through waters populated by orcas, humpback whales, and seals on this trip of a lifetime!
