Hang out with penguins and leopard seals. Explore pristine polar landscape along with world famous image makers and polar diving specialists on this amazing expedition to Antarctica!

Join Blue Green Expeditions on an expansive voyage on the m/v Ortelius exploring one of the most remote, scenic, wildlife-filled regions on Earth: the great Weddell Sea. This amazing and unforgettable trip includes South Georgia - South Sandwich Islands - Neuschwabenland - Vahsel Bay - Larsen Ice Shelf – Paulet and Devil Island - Elephant Island, diving (and visiting) places few have been - and helicopters!

Experience a bird’s-eye-view of Antarctica! Our helicopter capability on m/v Ortelius gives you the rare chance to see the famed emperor penguin rookery south of Snow Hill Island, numbering around 4,000 breeding pairs. Heavy ice may prevent entrance to this area from the Weddell Sea, and ice at the rookery itself might break up and start to melt earlier than expected. With this in mind, the aim is to stop the vessel between the Antarctic Sound and James Clark Ross Island, close to the ice edge, and find emperor penguins on their way to open water. The thrilling helicopter flights make this search possible, enabling you to land in locations otherwise inaccessible this early in the season. This is an incredible must-see event - come join us!!
