Exploring Icebergs




Title – Exploring Icebergs
Date – December 2006
Location - Antarctica

Getting up close and personal with an iceberg is best done with a small boat that can manoeuvre round them rather than a large sea going vessel that will never stop in time; here in Antarctica the experts know how to show you this final frontier in adventure travel.

Icebergs this size are commonly know to be nine times as big below the water as they are above it and happily float around on the currents occasionally bumping in to each other. So every morning you wake up, the landscape has changed.

Beyond The Blue is a company that was set up to allow it’s experienced instructors to pass on their knowledge and treasure trove of tricks and tips to people planning on travelling for the first time. Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop covers every aspect of the travelling experience prior to your departure, so that you can set off fully prepared for what you might encounter, but without any loss to the experiences, when you actually have them.
