Our favorite Polar wildlife experiences
Polar wildlife holidays to stark, otherworldly ice-fields offer a chance to travel to the ends of the earth and explore captivating frozen landscapes, populated by penguins, polar bears and seals.
Explore the largest ice mass on the globe – Antarctica – one of the world’s wildest and largely unexplored frontiers. Board a high-tech expedition ship or ice breaker designed to expertly navigate the sculpted blue icebergs and glaciers.
Take a zodiac boat, sea kayak or even a helicopter to explore towering ice formations and glaciers. Walk with penguins and meet walrus, arctic seabirds and polar bears. Journey to the North Pole on an Antarctic polar expedition, and if you dare, brave a dip in pure, glacial waters.
Other polar safaris take in the surreal, shifting colours of the Northern Lights in Sweden and Norway. Try dog sledding, stay at the iconic Ice Hotel and visit the world’s most northerly animal park, Polar Park, home to exotic arctic wildlife including lynx, bear, Arctic fox, elk, reindeer and wolves.
