Visit the 'Last Continent' on Oakton Tour

Slice through Antarctica's breathtaking ice passages on an educational tour offered through Oakton Community College's travel and study program. Trips in 2008 are scheduled to depart in January, February, and March.

An expedition leader aboard the Russian vessel Akademik Ioffe will maximize the educational adventure while considering weather and safety issues. Along the way, visit several international research stations and penguin colonies. A kayaking excursion is offered for an additional charge.

Participants also have the opportunity to spend a night sleeping out "on the ice." All necessary equipment, including sleeping bags and tents, is provided at no additional cost. Also, specific tour itineraries are adjusted based on daily weather and ice conditions.

For additional information, contact Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812, or visit www.oakton.edu/news/first/travel.htm.
