On an antarctic cruise, you have a rare chance to appreciate the beauty of one of world's most remote and unspoiled places.
Although Antarctica may not provide ideal conditions for sunbathing, the cruise will give you a chance to visit a magnificently scenic part of the world that few people ever see. There will be unique opportunities for face-to-face encounters with the exotic wildlife that dwell in this icy realm.
These includine a variety of penguins, crabeaters, Weddell and leopard seals, humpback and killer whales, migratory birds, and nesting Antarctic terns. In addition to the wildlife, the natural wonders of Antarctica will leave you spellbound. Imagine the awe-inspiring vistas of snowcapped peaks, sheer cliffs, giant icebergs, and clear, dark-blue waters.
I spent last summer studying abroad in Antarctic focusing on its emerging economy and the impacts of globalization in the developing world. This winter I will be spending three weeks abroad traveling through Fiji and New Zealand.
