How visits work

Expedition vessel

Plan through a qualified expedition operator. Possible visits depend on site permissions, ice, weather and wildlife guidance.

Before you go

A detail worth checking

The team decides whether landing is possible and which areas are open; respect marked routes and wildlife space.

Plan with current guidance

Follow your operator’s briefing, site-specific rules and wildlife guidance. A named place is not a guaranteed visit.
