When the Norwegian government decided tocreate a connection between the north and thesouth, Richard With and his riend Anders Holthetook on the challenge o thoroughly mapping

the seas along the Norwegian coastline. In 1893,Captain Richard Withs steamer, DS Vesteraalen,was brought into regular service along the coasto Norway, and Hurtigruten was established.

In 1896 Captain Richard With established a route to Svalbard,

and built a hotel there or his guests. Today, 117 years later,

Hurtigrutens explorer vessel MS Fram takes guests to

Svalbard, Greenland and Antarctica.

In the heroic age o exploration (around the turn o the

19th century) there was a race to unveil the last terra incognitos.

The original Fram quickly became the most amous vessel o

its time. Even now the achievements o Frams expeditions are

unparalleled. With Fritdjo Nansen she was the rst ship to

drit across the Arctic Ocean. Then Otto Sverdrup used her

whilst surveying an area larger than any other previous

expedition, the Canadian territory o Nunavut. And most

amous o all, she took Roald Amundsen to his starting point

in Antarctica to reach the South Pole.

Today, MS Fram travels in the wake o these great explorers.

The original Fram was a vessel or broadening the perspective

o the world let the new MS Fram be the same or you!

Antarctica is the planets last untouched continent. Coming here, seeing the

endless white landscape and hearing nothing but natures silence is a powerulexperience. Its oceans are unimaginably rich in bird and marine lie and itssurreal and haunting landscapes are like nothing else on Earth.

Antarctica is an endless white wilderness ull o antastic impressions o nature and wildlie. We sail inthe wake o the historical explorers as we journey rom Argentina. We will learn the history o these

great explorers as we travel in their ootsteps and see the landscape as they saw it; unchanged, remote

and awe-inspiring. You can explore this last wilderness rom MS Fram, one o the most advanced

expedition ships ever built.

As the only continent devoid o permanent human inhabitants, Antarctica is dedicated to science and

peace. It is the coldest, driest, highest and cleanest continent on Earth, but in spite o all the snow and

ice Antarctica is also teeming with lie. It is home to millions o penguins, thousands o seals and is a rich

eeding area or large numbers o whales that visit in the austral summer.

During the crossing o the Drake Passage, our Expedition Team will give a series o lectures about the

areas we will visit and wildlie we may encounter. When we near the peninsula, you may see giant tabularicebergs, whole groups o penguins swimming out to sea to hunt or krill, or torpedo-like leopard seals

patrolling the shorelines. Hurtigruten oer ve dierent voyages in and around Antarctica, and we look

orward to taking you on the journey o a lietime.

Below youwill nd a selection o some o the possiblelanding sites in Antarctica depending onyour voyages planned itinerary.

DecePtion islanD,

south shetlanD islanDs

One o the highlights o the South Shetlands,

Deception Island is a distinctive ring-shapedvolcanic caldera, a portion o which hascollapsed and created a navigable openinginto the fooded interior.

The natural harbour within includesWhalers Bay, home to an abandonedwhaling station known as Hektor, as wellas a derelict British base.

half Moon islanD,


Staggeringly photogenic and blessed withsome o the most spectacular Antarcticscenery imaginable, Hal Moon Island isa glittering gem amongst these islandtreasures. Its serrated and creviced clisare home to a large colony o chinstrappenguins, as well as Antarctic terns, kelpgulls, snowy sheathbills, Wilsons storm

petrels and several species o seals whoare regular visitors to the island.

Yankee harbour,


Early sealers in the area used YankeeHarbour on Greenwich Island as a requentbase o operations, its remarkable settingproviding a natural sae haven or the sailors.Remnants o those early days can still beseen littering the shoreline, but the bigdraw or visitors here is the large colony oGentoo penguins, whose numbers areestimated to be around 4,000 breeding pairs.

cuverville islanD

Situated in the scenic Errera Channel,Cuverville Island boasts the largest knowncolony o Gentoo penguins. The narrowErrera Channel oers a spectacular

passage to and rom Cuverville as icebergsbecome trapped and grounded in thenearby shallows. Watching rom theobservation decks as our navigators weavethe ship careully between the icebergs isas exciting as being surrounded by thethrongs o nesting penguins onshore.

neko harbour

Neko Harbour with its Gentoo penguincolony lies nestled in Andvord Bay,surrounded by the mountains and highglacier walls o the peninsula.Named ater a actory whaling ship romthe early 1900s, Neko is one o the rare

places in this area where you may landon the Antarctic mainland.

Polacikel boats in the Lemaie Channel

An endless white wilderness, Antarctica is nature at its most sublime and haunting. During theseastonishing voyages you will learn o the great explorers who paved the way into these southernoceans, gazing out across landscapes that have remained as awe-inspiring and unchanged as theday that man rst set eyes upon them.

ParaDise baY

The harbour is paradise not only in name,but in splendour and scenery as well.Protected rom the winds o the nearbyGerlache Strait, Paradise Harbour oersanother rare opportunity or a mainlandlanding and some o the nest vistas thePeninsula has to oer. Here you can ndthe Argentine base Almirante Brown andthe Chilean base Gonzalez Videla, as wellas colonies o neighbouring penguins.

leMaire channel

This 11km long and 1.6km wide channelis one o the most beautiul passages inAntarctica. It bestows upon the traveller aglimpse into what ascinates us most aboutthis incredibly contrasting environment;it is sublime yet imposing, delicate yetdaunting, alluring yet inhospitable.

PeterMann islanD

Its location in the picturesque Penola Strait

makes Petermann Island a great spot oriceberg- and whale-spotting and oersspectacular views across the channel tothe Antarctic Peninsula.

Port lockroY

The British base o Port Lockroy onGoudier Island was built in 1941 andabandoned in 1962. It lay empty until 1996when it was reurbished as a museum bythe Antarctic Heritage Trust. It has sincebecome one o the most popular sites inAntarctica and oers a unique peek intolie in an Antarctic base in the 1950s.

WilhelMina baY

The mountains and high glaciers aroundWilhelmina Bay ensure plenty o dramaticscenery and sculpted ice rom tiny foatingpieces to large bergs. The bay is a choiceeeding ground or whales and seals andthereore was a rich hunting ground orthe whalers o the past.

antarctic sounD

The huge ice shelves o the Antarcticcontinent give birth to mile-long tabularicebergs. The strong currents o the

Weddell Sea conspire to bring thesemassive fat-topped bergs north into theAntarctic Sound at the north-eastern endo the Antarctic Peninsula.

broWn bluff

Brown Blu lies on the coast o theAntarctic Sound at the tip o the AntarcticPeninsula. As the name suggests, thelandscape is dominated by an ominous 745metres high cli. The towering, rust-colouredblu is volcanic in origin and the beach

is peppered with lava bombs. Adliepenguins, Gentoo penguins, kelp gulls, andcape petrels can be ound breeding hereand Weddell seals are also regular visitors.
