We care about the heritage and environment of the places we visit
We believe in a boutique and tailor made service
Our expeditions are an unforgettable and life changing experience
Personal service from the first minute you contact us
We have put all our energy and planning into the handful of exceptional destinations in our portfolio, destinations that we personally have experienced in depth. We work closely with our partners, operators and guides, many of which we have become close friends and who are as committed as us to ensure we provide the very best experience.
Ice Tracks is a small, dedicated adventure travel company passionate about exploring the far reaches of the world with you.
Through our intimate, guided groups, or our personal, tailor-made itineraries, we are able to combine hands-on exploration and meaningful encounters with local cultures, eco-systems and wildlife, in pristine, unusual and spectacular destinations. By travelling with experienced explorers, historians, naturalists, photographers and other experts, your Ice Tracks trip not only has a positive impact on the wildlife, ecosystems and communities we visit, but it also becomes a life-changing nature experience.
While we specialise in the Arctic and Antarctic, we also explore less icy destinations through Wild Tracks – offering bespoke trips to Patagonia, Ecuador & Galapagos and Africa.
We can’t wait to explore with you.
You can take your dream trip and save money with us!
Whether an Early Bird Booking Incentive or a Late Owl Sale, we always have a number of great savings available that vary depending on where and when you want to travel.
Today most of our dear Trackers joining us on Shackleton’s Final Quest voyage are arriving in Ushuaia, where we will spend the following two days exploring and discovering the southernmost city of Argentina, before embarking on an immersive journey unlike any that has come before or will ever come again.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the life and passing of Sir Ernest Shackleton, and in this, the year his lost ship Endurance was miraculously found, we will experience what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which seems only right, since there will never again be an explorer like Sir Ernest Shackleton, in this lifetime or any other.
It is almost time to cast off the bowlines, and sail away from the safe harbour on a journey of exploration, discovery – and dreams!

Penguins on the Move! 🌊🐧
While awkward and adorable on land, once these birds get into the water, they’re incredibly streamlined and agile.
This behaviour, called “porpoising”, where they leap out of the water, is a very efficient way of swimming while also useful for breathing. So fun to watch as they cross the bow of your zodiac, of course!
This amazing moment was captured by Amanda Fieldhouse, who embarked this past November on a memorable voyage to Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica:
“I want to thank you again for all you did to make this trip possible for me - it was just incredible. It’s a cliche - but it really was a dream come true! To be honest it’s hard to come back to reality!!”

Imagine camping under the twinkling stars and the clearest sky you’ve ever seen. Sure, the air outside is a bit cold, but you’re nice and cozy in your high-tech camping gear while the sounds of whales blowing in the distance, the crackling of glaciers lulls you to sleep.
Camping on the frozen continent, waking up on a new day, a new dawn in a paradise of ice is one of the most unique experiences you can imagine!

One of the highlights of any expedition to the polar regions is zodiac cruising. These large, heavy-duty inflatable vessels are extremely safe and were specially designed for expedition work.
Zodiacs are used for transferring you ashore and for taking you ocean-level cruising among icebergs, whales and seabirds. During the expedition, you will visit remote and isolated sites that are accessible only by Zodiac.
Any expedition cruise that uses Zodiacs for operations begins with a mandatory briefing. In this session, the Expedition Leader explains how to travel in the boats safely—from embarkation to disembarkation. You are thoroughly explained the guidelines like how to wear the versatile life jacket or how embarkation and disembarkation work in varied conditions.
Zodiac cruising can offer some of the most amazing perspectives in the Polar Regions!

Hannah Point. 62˚39'S, 60˚37'W - South coast of Livingston Island.
Business as usual at the Magical South Shetland Islands. Gentoo Penguins hanging out and a skua strolling by.
About 75 miles north of the Antarctic Peninsula are the South Shetland Islands. Their convenient location on the sea route to Antarctica from South America makes them a common stop before reaching the White Continent.
Hannah Point supports some of the most diverse animal life of the Antarctic Peninsula. Species such as chinstrap and gentoos penguins, blue-eyed shags, giant petrels, elephant seals and skuas are usually seen here.
To provide information about these lovable animals and more, researchers have set up an outdoor museum in Walker Bay that displays fossils, seal jaws, penguin skulls, and dazzling minerals.

Into the brash ice and exploring the far reaches of the world, this is what we love to do.
Known as the ‘birthplace of icebergs’, West Greenland boasts some of the most spectacular, awe-inspiring ice on Earth. Zodiac cruise in the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Ilulissat Icefjord, where majestic, sculpted icebergs parade down dramatic fjords, and the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier flows from the massive Greenland ice sheet – the second largest on Earth – into the sea.
This is just a glimpse of one of the zodiac cruises our intrepid group of Ice Trackers are enjoying during our Signature voyage around the Northwest Passage: In the Footsteps of Franklin.

Hello Greenland!
During the next following weeks, a happy group of Trackers’ will retrace the steps of the intrepid Franklin Expedition, which left the shores of England in 1845 in search of the last unexplored section of the Northwest Passage.
After arriving in Toronto and a charter flight to Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, we embarked and set sail. For the next few days, we will be exploring West Greenland.
We can’t be more excited to discover new places, to immerse ourselves in the best the region has to offer and share these experiences with you and all our dear Trackers.
