Journey to Antarctica: The White Continent

January 7 - 15, 2025

Join CMC alumni and friends, as well as Professor Branwen Williams, one of the newest faculty members of the Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences, aboard the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER as we journey to Antarctica to explore the dazzling beauty of this impressive place known as The White Continent.

The White Continent launches you into a unique world of marine wildlife, frozen landscapes, and incredible geological formations. In the Antarctic islands, we will float into an ice desert of crystalline air and frozen seas. Staggering in its variety of forms, the visual beauty of polar ice makes every Antarctic explorer vow to return.
