Making the most of Terra Nova

Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.

01

Arriving at the port

As cruise ships cannot dock here, inflatable zodiac boats will tender you ashore.

02

Sightseeing

Scott first discovered Terra Nova Bay during his 1901-1904 expedition. It is now occupied by an Italian base operating a summer research station; nearby, the massive Drygalski ice tongue forms part of the David Glacier and extends 70km into the Ross Sea.
