Visit the 'Last Continent' on Oakton Tour
Slice through Antarctica's breathtaking ice passages on an educational tour offered through Oakton Community College. Trips in 2008 are scheduled 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. Specific itineraries are adjusted based on daily weather and ice conditions. Travelers will visit several international research stations and penguin colonies.
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 extra cost.
A kayaking excursion is offered for an additional charge.
