We went with Quark on the Shokalskiy, and I'd thoroughly recommend them. It actually wound up a bit cheaper to book through Adventure Associates in Australia than with Quark direct. Unless you're a particularly bad sailor, its worth going on a ...

I'm happy to say that I WILL be skinny dipping in Antarctica!!! Well, I'll probably wear a swimsuit, but I doubt it will be much different. Regardless, I am leaving October 6th to work for 5 months where the penguins roam free and ...
