Antarctica, the icy wonderland at the bottom of the world, captivates the imagination with its snowy beauty and awe-inspiring landscapes. From glaciers and icebergs to penguins and seals, there is no place like it on earth. In December 2023, Ventures Birding Tours of Asheville embarked on an Antarctic journey, birding from the comfort of a cruise ship. From their vantage point on the bow of the ship, tour participants enjoyed awesome views of an amazing variety of birds: 6 species of penguins, 8 albatross species, 29 different petrel species and more! Join us for a virtual trip on the cruise ship with Ventures owner Simon Thompson who will recap their tour to the Southern Oceans and the Antarctic Peninsula. In person and also via Zoom
