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
Confirm the current UK Antarctic Heritage Trust visitor arrangements and the team’s permissions before expecting entry.
Plan with current guidance
Follow your operator’s briefing, site-specific rules and wildlife guidance. A named place is not a guaranteed visit.
