COURSE INFORMATION

Antarctic Exploration: Adventure Meets Adversity

Contrary to some textbooks, the “Age of Exploration” did not end in the 17th century; it was alive and kicking well into the 20th century and beyond, in one of the harshest and most demanding environments on Earth—the Antarctic.

With characters who would feel just as much at home in some Greek epic as they did on the frozen wasteland of this ice continent, names such as Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen will live forever in the annals of exploration and adventure alongside the new pioneers—the scientists of our modern era—who have taken on the reins of exploration and are forging new ground in our understanding of the Earth and ourselves.

Join us as we look back over the generations of hardy souls who have braved the unknown, challenged the worst conditions on Earth and sometimes, met their match in a fatal attraction that most of them would have done all over again in a heartbeat.
