The Secret Season of Antarctica
Why March Belongs to Those In The Know
In March, Antarctica reveals a side few will ever experience. Whales gather in abundance, twilight skies glow with surreal colors, and the frozen world feels quieter, more intimate. This is the continent’s secret season — a hidden chapter of wonder waiting to be discovered.
Whale Watching at Its Best
March is the peak of Antarctica’s whale season. Humpbacks, minkes, and orcas linger to feed vigorously before migrating north. Here, unforgettable encounters aren’t rare — they’re part of the rhythm of the season.
- Breaching whales through glassy seas
- Orcas slicing past zodiacs in tight family pods
- Bubble-net feeding spectacles — a rare sight in nature
Golden Light & Dramatic Skies
The lowering sun paints the Antarctic landscape in soft golden light and twilight hues. Brilliant sunrises and sunsets wash the ice in oranges, violets, and pinks. Ice formations shift and transform as temperatures cool. On clear nights, the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) may ripple across the sky, filling it with shimmering greens and purples. It’s a season to pause, breathe, and be moved by beauty — whether through the lens or simply with your own eyes.
Penguins & Seals in Transition
March offers a captivating finale to the breeding season:
- Penguin chicks growing bolder, practicing their first swims
- Curious young penguins exploring beaches and ice shelves
- Seals resting on ice floes, relaxed and plentiful
This secret season calls to those who seek:
- Wildlife Spectacle — whales, penguins, and seals at their most dynamic
- Atmospheric Beauty — golden sunsets, shifting ice, and even the Southern Lights
- Adventure With Room To Roam — time to explore, linger, and truly take it in
