A World Apart
Less than 200 years ago, no human being had ever laid eyes on this continent. And only a little more than 100 years ago, no human being had ever set foot on the mysterious Terra Australis Incognita. Even during most of this century, Antarctica was the domain of only the hardiest of explorers. But today, you can experience the breathtaking beauty and pure, unspoiled wilderness of the world's last continent. For almost 25 years, Mountain Travel Sobek has been offering voyages to Antarctica aboard comfortable expedition vessels. Come with us - we'll guarantee you a voyage beyond your wildest dreams!

Antarctica: Crossing the Circle
This extreme southern latitude of the Antarctic Circle (latitude 66° 33') is truly one of the planet's last frontiers. A frozen zone of blue icebergs, gossamer pink light, and snowy mountains as far as the eye can see. Sea kayaking option.13 days. Easier.




Antarctic Quest
A grand journey among the Antarctic Peninsula's dramatic bays and channels. You'll also visit spectacular South Georgia, famed in polar exploration history, and the Falkland Islands - a sub-Antarctic wildlife Mecca. Sea kayaking option. 19/20 days. Easier.
