Antarctic expedition
Southern ice voyage
An Antarctic expedition is a journey to Antarctica, typically for scientific research, exploration, or adventure.
The term evokes the heroic age of polar exploration—Shackleton, Scott, Amundsen—when such trips meant years of isolation and mortal risk.
Modern Antarctic expeditions range from research missions to tourist voyages: The Antarctic expedition collected ice core samples dating back 800,000 years.
