This citizen science expedition combines endangered species conservation, photography, filmmaking and scientific study of the Antarctic region. The expedition will have snorkeling with penguins, seals, whales, possible orca sightings, exploration excursions and hiking to witness remote penguin colonies and historic areas. We may see a number of species of whales including humpback, fin, minke, sei, blue whales and we'll be documenting many types of penguins such as Chinstrap and Adelie.
The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most dynamic parts of the Southern Ocean. Stretching out over 1,500 kilometers toward the tip of South America, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current provides a strong natural barrier, which results in these waters harboring a high percentage of diverse and endemic marine life. 75% of the krill population surrounding Antarctica resides in this area.
Next we will go to the Weddell sea which is one of the most important water bodies on our planet, playing a significant role in global climate regulation. The food chain starts with the massive amounts of krill that are found in these waters. This particular body of water is said to possess the cleanest water among all the world’s seas and in the 1980s scientists concluded that it had the transparency of distilled water. Objects lying at a depth of 260 feet can be clearly seen from the surface, making it one of the clearest water bodies on earth.
Protecting the fragile and environmentally important Weddell Sea is the goal of a new Shark Team One marine protected area project!
This expedition will include a small group of explorers and we are headed to the Antarctic region during the spring. We will be in a number of areas which are only accessible by special permit and are assembling a team of conservationists, photography experts, filmmakers and our citizen scientists.
Join us for a perfect 14 days which have been carefully selected for maximum number of charismatic animal sightings and based on historically rich seasonal wildlife viewing:
March 1 - March 14, 2024 - Booking now - 4 spots available
This is a rare chance to fly into Antarctica, giving us a full 11 days on the Antarctic Peninsula and in the Weddell Sea, since this trip is exclusive to Shark Team One’s mission. We hope you can join us in Antarctica for the adventure of a lifetime!
