A.I. (ADVENTURESIncorporated), Goway’s adventure division is offering a unique opportunity in Antarctica.

Antarctica is becoming increasingly accessible and popular. More and more people are moving the southern continent up their list of places to visit. As the popularity increases new and more unique itineraries are being offered.

One of these itineraries is on offer with ADVENTURESIncorporated. “The Emperors & Kings: Snow Hill and South Georgia expedition for 2009 is a very special trip. Not only will clients be able to see both the Emperor penguins, made famous in March of the Penguins, and King penguins, clients will be in the company of Robert Bateman and Birgit Freybe Bateman” states Don Forster, Product and Marketing Manager of ADVENTURESIncorporated.

Robert Bateman and Birgit Freybe Bateman share a deep concern for the conservation and preservation of our natural and human heritage. While special guests aboard the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov, they will deliver two presentations about their lifetimes’ work.

Robert is an internationally acclaimed wildlife artist and activist. In recognition of his lifetime of work, he was made Officer of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian award. Amnesty International presented him with its Human Rights Defender Award. In 1998, he was named one of the 20th Century’s Champions of Conservation by the United States National Audubon Society.

Birgit is a professional artist and photographer whose images have appeared in books and magazines such as Conde Nast Traveller, Outside Magazine, and National Geographic Adventure.

The departure is from November 15 to December 6, 2009 and can easily be called the ultimate Antarctica trip visiting not only the Emperor and King penguin rookeries but also South Georgia, Shackelton’s end point on his epic escape from Antarctica and the Falkland Islands.

A truly amazing trip, spaces will fill quickly in this amazing offering of wildlife and history with two of Canada’s most respective conservationists!

For full trip information you can visit The Emperors & Kings: Snow Hill and South Georgia.

ADVENTURESIncorporated (A.I.), Goways Adventure and Latin American division now offers vacations to span the globe; from bottom to top! The adventure specialist has rightfully boasted over 2500 adventures in over 55 countries; from East to West and one of the last frontiers on the planet – Antarctica.

“Now the ‘circle’ is complete” commented Don Forster, Product and Marketing Manager of ADVENTURESIncorporated. “We are always looking for new destinations and options for our adventure-minded clients and are now offering trips across both polar circles. Our new Arctic departures start in June 2008 not only round out our Polar offerings but they also offer another choice of destination for our returning clients.” continued Forster.

The Arctic differs from the southern polar region geologically, biologically and politically. They are, pun intended, polar opposites. For centuries humans searched for the Northwest Passage, the elusive route to the Orient, and many died trying. For five hundred years, the Northeast Passage, from Russia’s Far East to Scandinavia, drew adventurers from safe harbours into the great unknown, in search of fortune and fame.

The quest to reach the North Pole was equally as tragic and prolonged as the quests for northern trade routes. The controversial feat was accomplished less than a hundred years ago; reaching the top of the world is still a relatively rare occurrence in the 21st century.

Now these journeys can be undertaken in safety and comfort and those wishing to retrace the early explores have a number of options available.

The Northeast Passage 25 Days Anchorage to Helsinki from $24,700 USD.

Arctic Islands 17 Days Helsinki to Helsinki from $15,500 USD.

Arctic Quest 18 Days Ottawa to Ottawa from $14,500 USD.
