Since the invention of the first ship, intrepid explorers have long sought out the adventures hidden among the Antarctic Circle. This elusive region has been off limits to those without the money and means to reach it on their own up until the last decade. Now, one just has to sign up for G Adventures Quest for the Antarctic Circle to experience its wonders.

Quest for the Antarctic Circle is a 14-day adventure beginning at the southernmost tip of South America in the city of Ushuaia to the Antarctic Polar Circle and back. Along the way you’ll discover breathtaking landscapes peppered with glaciers, penguins, whales and more.

As you make your way through the Drake Passage to the western shore, you’ll spot icebergs and albatross up close until you set foot on the Shetland Islands. There, you’ll explore the islands during two separate landings upon which you’ll mingle with leopard seals, Adélie penguin rookeries, Gentoo and orcas just off the ice.

For those seeking more adventure and with a little more cash to spare, you can partake in a few optional extras during your journey. G Adventures offers Antarctica camping if you’d like to brave the ice overnight, kayaking for the sporty travelers and a stop at Tierra del Fuego National Park for bird watching.

The trip pricing begins at $9,499 and fills up fast, so head over to the website and see what adventures in Antarctica might await you.
