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
Snow, terrain, wildlife and weather determine permitted movement; do not assume a fixed hiking route.
Plan with current guidance
Follow your operator’s briefing, site-specific rules and wildlife guidance. A named place is not a guaranteed visit.
