Antarctica’s best season for whale watching and sunsets

Embarking on an Antarctic voyage in February or March gives expeditioners the chance to experience epic sunrises and sunsets as the daylight hours shorten. Plus, during the late season, humpback whales are at their highest numbers, so expeditioners can enjoy plenty of opportunities to spot the majestic creatures, whether from small ship, Zodiac or kayak.
