Snorkel in Antarctica
Witness wildlife and scenery unlike any other place on earth. Through crystal clear waters you’ll discover the amazing mobility and speed of penguins entering and exiting from the ice, marvel at beautiful sculpted icebergs below the water and witness marine life such as crustaceans, isopods, starfish and nudibranchs!
With a longstanding tradition of pushing the boundaries, the Antarctic snorkeling program was launched in 2014 and is now being offered on select voyages aboard the Greg Mortimer & Sylvia Earle.

This latest innovative activity option is led by expert polar diving guides, and utilizes state of the art equipment including drysuits, gloves, hood, fins, mask, and snorkel.
