Snow Hill to the Peninsula: Shackleton's EmperorsOct 30, 2025 (18 days)
Ultramarine | Roundtrip Buenos AiresQuark created the 18-day “Snow Hill to the Peninsula: Shackleton’s Emperors” itinerary for those who dream of witnessing the legendary Emperor penguin colony at Snow Hill Island—and are also drawn to the austere beauty of the remote Weddell Sea, as well as the rarely visited east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The crown jewel of this unique expedition, of course, is the rare opportunity to visit the storied colony of approximately 4,000 pairs of breeding Emperor penguins and their adorable chicks at Snow Hill. These ice-dwelling penguins—which captivated early explorers like Sir Ernest Shackleton—thrive in temperatures as low as-50C. They’re the largest and most beautiful of all penguin species. On this expedition, you will spend five days exploring this iceberg-choked paradise by ship, helicopter and Zodiac before exploring along the east coast of the Peninsula.

Enjoy two Heli Flightseeing adventures and one Heli Excursion—all included in the price of your voyage—while exploring in the comfort of Ultramarine.
You’ll learn what it’s like to step out of a helicopter onto Antarctica and gaze upon polar landscapes previously seen by just a few fearless explorers.
