A couple of weeks ago we mentioned one of Antarctica's many scientific marvels: blue ice. There is more to that story. These areas are also known for the numbers of meteorites that can be found there. Either by landing directly on the ice or by transportation on a glacial "conveyer belt" (ice flow), extraterrestrial rocks accumulate here in high numbers and are then preserved by the blue ice's permanence. Head to the link below to learn more about the study of glacial meteori...tes from a NASA scientist. Once your interest in this incredible continent has been piqued, head over to our site to apply to join our next carbon-negative adventure, shipping out in November 2021.

You've traveled to Ushuaia, rounded Cape Horn, and sailed the Drake Passage, all for that first glimpse of the incredible Antarctic. Many travelers report feeling overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing the pristine continent for the first time. In this article from The Guardian, veteran polar explorers explain some of those feelings of reverence they had at that first sighting - and continue to have during every trip back. By applying to join us in November 2021, you can exper...ience the alluring, mysterious beauty of Antarctica just as those who made the journey before you have.

Antarctica's blue-ice areas are rare but stunning. The deep blue appearance is due to a combination of light refraction (think deep water) and sublimation, and some of these stretches of ice have been found to be over 2 million years old. Unfortunately, blue-ice areas are vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change, as the strong winds that cause sublimation become weaker over the years. Join the fight against climate change by signing up for the next 2041 ClimateFor...ce Antarctic Expedition. This carbon-negative journey, which departs in November 2021, seeks to inspire and educate the next generation of environmental activists and leaders.

Situated in an isolated stretch of sea surrounded by ice, Antarctica's Fish Islands were late to gain international attention. These small land masses were not charted until the 1930s, due in part to their ability to disguise themselves among the fields of floating ice. Today these islets have become popular with scientists and tourists alike for their robust populations of Adelie penguins and frequent seal spottings. We will journey to the Fish Islands as part of the 2041 Cl...imateForce Antarctica Expedition.

Visitors to Antarctica are fortunate to experience the otherworldliness of this pristine land. Snow and ice rise from the sea into peaks and glaciers "breathe" with the seasons, doubling the size of the continent during the winter. Antarctica's rare nature is part of what attracts so many adventurers. Unfortunately, it is also why the continent is so susceptible to climate change. A recent CNN article highlighted new findings about the rapid melting of the Thwaites - or "Doom...sday" - Glacier, attributing its quickened pace to the man-made crisis. It is the polar explorer like yourself that will lead the fight against climate change.

Together we can help to preserve this place for generations to come. cnn.it/3kClbG8

Did you know that despite its icy landscape, Antarctica is the driest of the seven continents and technically the world's largest desert? Or, that no specific nation owns the continent, thanks to the 1961 Antarctic Treaty? Or even that 90-100 million years ago, Antarctica used to be home to lush rainforests?!... Our latest blog post covers these and other fast facts about the 'Last Great Wilderness.'

Our next great adventure south departs November 2021! https://explorerspassage.com/chronicles/facts-antarctica/

Climate change issues are of great importance to The Explorer's Passage. As we explore the world and take in the beautiful scenery around us, we recognize the mounting need to preserve and care for our world. We know it will take a global effort to implement the necessary changes, which is why we partner with 2041 ClimateForce to leave behind a healthy and beautiful planet for future generations of explorers. On the 2041 ClimateForce Antarctic Expedition in 2021 we will offse...t the environmental impact by 1.25x - in other words, making the expedition a carbon negative journey. It is just one example of our company's serious commitment to reducing the footprints of our various expeditions. You can be part of this incredible mission by joining the next Antarctic expedition.

Antarctica's Wilhelmina Bay is famous for its dramatic landscapes and robust humpback whale population. The incredible scenery there is punctuated by jagged mountain peaks that rise out of the sea and stand out against the snowy backdrop. Due to its popularity with wildlife observers, the alluring bay has been dubbed "Whale-mina" Bay in recent years. As an explorer on our 2041 ClimateForce Antarctica Expedition, you will have the opportunity to experience the splendor of Wilh...elmina Bay first-hand.

Each group of adventurers that takes part in the carbon-negative 2041 ClimateForce Antarctica Expedition returns home a staunch advocate for preserving the 'Last Great Wilderness' on Earth. This is because the explorers on this trip are able to directly witness the effects of climate change firsthand, including its impact of the continent's melting ice shelves. A recent article from BBC News details the latest scientific data from Antarctica, revealing new information about w...here these melts are occurring and how the meltwater may alter the surrounding environment. We are searching for the next great class of adventurers and activists to take part in this extraordinary journey south in November 2021. Are you ready? https://bbc.in/3g2Ks9S
