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

Ice conditions and wildlife protection govern movement; the operator can change or omit the stop.

Plan with current guidance

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