Antarctica Expedition Cruise
Antarctica travel reveals the dramatic extremes of a frozen continent. It holds the title of coldest, driest, windiest, and highest elevation on earth. And when it comes to seeing wildlife up close and, in many instances, totally fearless of man, there's nowhere on earth quite like Antarctica to experience that, except perhaps the Arctic circle in the Northern hemisphere. Antarctica is not an easy place to get to, but increasing numbers of people visit Antarctica every year. During the peak of the southern hemisphere summer, Expedition Cruises offers travellers a unique opportunity to venture to Antarctica aboard MV Orion. The vessel sails from Australia and New Zealand, crossing the Antarctic Circle to places redolent with history and adventure.

Desert Treks & Expeditions By Camel
The Outback Camel Company has been exploring the vast deserts of inland Australia since 1976 after successfully completing Australia's first commercial camel expedition - across the Simpson Desert. Using a string of pack camels to carry all the supplies and equipment, they honour the tradition of the pioneering 'Afghan' cameleers who played such a crucial role in the exploration, development and sustenance of inland Australia. They are the only camel tour operator in the country that actively explores all of the continent's great deserts without restricting themselves to one area, via a range of distinctive educational treks & expeditions travelling through some of Central Australia's most remote areas.
