Antarctica is currently the fastest warming area on the planet, with temperatures & related ice-melt increasing at an even faster rate than had been predicted. The effects of global warming will have an impact on marine, animal & human life around the planet.

Join a mission with luxury tour operator, Abercrombie and Kent aboard MV 'Minerva' with award-winning scientist Dr. James McClintock to an Antarctic research station, where they present equipment critical to the monitoring of Antarctic climate change. Along the way, travelers journey in Zodiacs and on land to explore the region's coastline and wildlife.
