Visiting Antarctica in March

March is an excellent time to visit Antarctica for those looking to experience the region’s unique wildlife, landscapes, and science, without the crowds of the peak season.

4- Ice Activity

March is an ideal time to see the unique ice conditions in Antarctica, with the ice starting to break up and form stunning ice sculptures and icebergs.
