Characterized by steep cliffs, rolling hills, and peat bogs, the island’s terrain is covered with dense mega-herb communities. These large, colorful plants are adapted to the harsh Subantarctic climate, and they flourish here, creating a unique and visually striking landscape.

The Ross Sea, often referred to as the "Last Ocean," is one of the most pristine and ecologically significant marine environments in the world. Situated in Antarctica, it is the southernmost sea on the planet, extending southward from the coast of Victoria Land to the edge of the vast Ross Ice Shelf. The sea is named after Sir James Clark Ross, a British naval officer and explorer who charted its waters in 1841 during an expedition aboard the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.

Depending on weather and ice conditions, you may have the chance to visit several iconic sites in the Ross Sea region. One such site is Cape Adare, located at the northern end of the Borchgrevink Coast, which boasts the world's largest colony of Adélie penguins. Another potential stop is Terra Nova Bay, where the Italian and South Korean scientific stations are situated. Nearby, you'll find the Drygalski Ice Tongue, a 70 km long extension from the David Glacier, which spans 24 km at its widest point and has existed for at least 4000 years.

On Inexpressible Island, discover the remarkable survival story of six men from Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition (1910-1913), who endured the winter in an ice cave now designated as an Antarctic historical monument. Ross Island offers a chance to follow in the footsteps of Sir James Clark Ross and visit Sir Ernest Shackleton's hut at Cape Royds, a historical monument fro

Macquarie Island is the exposed crest of the underwater Macquarie Ridge, formed by tectonic activity between the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates. This island is one of the few places on Earth where the oceanic crust and rocks from the Earth's mantle, normally found deep below the ocean floor, are exposed above sea level.

The island serves as a vital breeding ground for a vast array of subantarctic wildlife, including four species of penguins—king, royal, gentoo, and rockhopper—as well as large colonies of elephant seals and fur seals. The waters surrounding the island are a habitat for whales and numerous seabird species.

The Snares, also known as Snares Islands, are a small group of islands situated about 200 kilometers south of New Zealand's South Island. They form one of the country's primary Subantarctic island groups, renowned for their untouched wilderness and critical ecological status.

The Snares are completely free from human habitation and invasive species, making them one of the most pristine areas in the Southern Ocean. Access to the islands is heavily restricted, with landings not allowed, to preserve their delicate ecosystem.
