21 THE ANTARCTICA21 EXPEDITION EXPERIENCE

Mariano Curiel, Director What surprises our travelers the most? of Expedition Operations, In my experience, the biggest impact comes from being exposed to such majestic expressions of talks about the expedition nature. In the remote and extreme Antarctic and experience in Antarctica sub-Antarctic environment, travelers see and feel and beyond. things that go beyond what they know and are used to in their daily lives. It’s the same planet but it feels different. For many, it is a life-changing experience.

What makes a trip an “expedition”? How do you put together the expedition team? Mariano Curiel The word expedition refers to a journey Members of our expedition team must be able to Director of Expedition Operations undertaken by a group of people with a perform at the highest level in extreme conditions, particular purpose, such as exploration or for extended periods of time. Our mission is to research. With a lot of preparation and just as connect our guests to the places we explore. To much flexibility, we lead expedition travelers become that link, the team needs hard technical to Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands to skills and experience, but also empathy, which allows deepen their understanding of these remote them to feel and understand the emotions of our and otherworldly places. guests. We focus on building diverse teams in terms of gender, nationality, skills, backgrounds etc. Finally, we look for people who feel deep respect for the Antarctic environment. A team needs to be confident in their plans but ultimately humble to the forces of nature. It’s a unique profile we look for.

We only run small-scale trips, with maximum 96 guests for our Antarctic and sub-Antarctic sea voyages. How does that shape the travel experience? It gives us several advantages. To begin with, the connection to the places we visit is qualitatively different: less noise, less distraction, a more intimate experience. Then, there is our flexibility: in extreme environments the only guarantee is that there are no guarantees, and that plans will have to change. Our small scale affords us a lot of flexibility, which is a huge operational advantage. It results in better daily routines. But probably the most important point is that we are able to establish a personal connection with our guests. We speak with them, we listen, we share, we find out what they are experiencing during their trip. That gives us a chance to adapt our plans so that our guests are not simply “passengers” but become active participants in their trip.

30 Back to summary USEFUL TIPS

Waterproof Boots As most landings in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic regions are “wet landings”, the best footwear is knee-high waterproof boots. You will not need to carry them with you since Antarctica21 will provide you with a pair of thermal rubber boots.

Face Protection Good quality UV filtering sunglasses are essential. Glacier glasses have leather flaps at the sides to stop the light from passing through. Due to the high reflectance of UV radiation, you will also need good sun block lotion for your face (protection factor 30 and above) and lip balm.

Photography To see the wildlife you should have a good pair of lightweight binoculars (the suggested magnification is 7× or 8×). If you are passionate about photography, do not forget a good zoom lens to shoot wildlife while avoiding close approaches. Also, take with you a good supply of memory cards and spare batteries since cold temperatures can reduce their lifespan. The recreational use of drones is not allowed during the expedition.

Visa Requirements All Travelers should check the entry requirements of the countries visited during their trip, based on their nationality. For trips that visit Argentina and
