1 INTRODUCTION Join us on this exclusive, 26 day expedition to Commonwealth Bay, a remote location rarely visited by tourists, if conditions permit we may even visit Mawson's Huts. A true Australian hero, Douglas Mawson's initial interest in was scientific. Whilst others were racing for polar records, Mawson was studying and leading the charge on claiming a large chunk of the continent for Australia. On his quest Mawson along with Xavier Mertz and Belgrave Ninnis set out to explore and study east of the Mawson's Huts. On what began as a journey of discovery and science ended in Mertz and Ninnis perishing and Mawson surviving extreme conditions against all odds, with next to no food or supplies in the bitter cold of.
2 Chimu Adventures in collaboration with the Mawsons Huts Foundation have access to berths on the only tourist cruise departing Hobart, Australia, in the 2018/19 season, which is scheduled to visit the historic Commonwealth Bay, where the Mawson story truly began. This exciting adventure cruise will visit Macquarie Island, Campbell Island, the Auckland Islands, the rugged East Antarctic coast, the impressive Commonwealth Bay and if we are really lucky, Mawson's Huts, before making its way back to Bluff, New Zealand. This is truly a cruise for those that love adventure travel and a must tick bucket list item for avid travellers. Mawson s Huts Foundation The Mawson's Huts Foundation was established in 1997 with the support of the Federal Government expressly to conserve Mawson s Huts at Cape Denison. Since then it has funded and organized 10 major expeditions to the historic site: it s Australia s gift to Antarctic Heritage. Sir Douglas Mawson is arguably the grandfather of Antarctic science. The Australian Antarctic Expedition is notable for its achievements and sadly its tragedies. Travel with us on an extraordinary journey and explore this fascinating part of, full of breath-taking nature and exciting history. ITINERARY
3 DAY 1: Hobart Arrive in Hobart, a city rich in colonial heritage, picturesque waterways, gourmet experiences and natural charms. Please make your own way to Hadley s Orient Hotel. This evening we will have a private tour and reception at the Mawson s Huts replica in Hobart. This will prove an excellent opportunity to meet fellow adventurers and some of our expedition team. DAY 2: Port of Hobart The expedition team will welcome you on board as you embark the ship. We set sail across Storm Bay and sail past Bruny Island and the Tasman Peninsula en route to Macquarie Island. DAY 3: At Sea - Days 3 to 5 As we make our way through an area known as the roaring 40s, we will have a series of video supported lectures on the biology and history of the Sub Antarctic Islands and the Southern Ocean. Great birding opportunities may include the Wandering Albatross, Royal Albatross, Blackbrowed Albatross and Light-mantled Sooty Albatross as well as the opportunity to spot the Fairy Prion, Fulmar Prion and Antarctic Prion. DAY 6: Macquarie Island - Days 6 & 7 Macquarie Island supports one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the Southern Ocean and is home to millions of penguins of four different species; King, Rockhopper, Gentoo and the endemic Royal. We plan to spend our time between Sandy Bay and Buckles Bay, enjoying a guided tour of the Australian Antarctic Division Base and the opportunity to witness large groups of South Elephant Seals in slumber on the beaches.
4 DAY 8: At Sea - Days 8 to 10 Soaring albatross and petrels circle the vessel as we steam ever southward through the Southern Ocean. The captain will manoeuvre the ship between drifting icebergs and in close for your first ice photography while he announces a special celebration when we pass into s realm of 24- hour daylight. DAY 11: Commonwealth Bay & Antarctic Coast Days 11 to 19 Our first landing on the remote East Antarctic coastline will hopefully be at Cape Denison in Commonwealth Bay (subject to weather and ice conditions) where you will see Adelie Penguins and experience Mawson s Huts and its environs. The region is notoriously known as the home of the blizzard largely on account of the strong Katabatic winds that frequently blow here. We will wait for a lull in the weather then land. Due to the conservation efforts of The Mawson s Huts Foundation it is now possible to enter the historical huts and be connected to the men and achievements of the remarkable expedition. We explore the coast and hope to land at an Emperor Penguin colony, as well as see firsthand the majestic glaciers, icebergs and rugged east coastline. West from Cape Denison is the French Antarctic Research Base, Dumont D Urville which we will visit if permission is granted and ice conditions permit. There is also an Emperor Penguin colony nearby. Breeding season will be over but birds could possibly still be around. Other landings could include Port Martin (abandoned French Base) and the McKellar Islands. We will also cruise the icebergs and coastline in the Zodiacs looking for wildlife. East from Cape Denison we can follow the ice edge towards the Balleny Islands. It is a very productive area for cetaceans; large numbers of Humpbacks have been recorded here. Other potential sites in the Northern Ross Sea that we could land if ice and weather conditions permit include the Possession Islands and Cape Hallett. From Cape Hallett we can get amazing views of the northern transantarctic mountains.
5 DAY 20: At Sea - Days 20 to 22 When we depart from the spectacular icebound majesty of, you will have some quieter time at sea to recover from the extensive daylight hours of the Antarctic. En route to Campbell Island, take part in a series of lectures designed to prepare you for your visit the next day. DAY 23: Campbell Island Perseverance Harbour Days 23 & 2 You will have plenty of time to explore Campbell Island, New Zealand s southernmost Sub Antarctic territory. We will offer a number of options which will enable you to explore the island on foot from Perseverance Harbour, a long inlet cutting into the undulating landscape. Campbell Island is a truly magnificent place of rugged scenery, unique flora and abundant wildlife. Perseverance Harbour where we drop anchor is an occasional refuge for Southern Right Whales who come here to calve. DAY 25: At Sea and Auckland Islands We arrive in Carnley Harbour, once the caldera of the Carnley volcano. You will have a number of options including a reasonably difficult scramble to a Shy Albatross. DAY 26: Auckland Islands Enderby Island Our plan is to land at Sandy Bay, one of three breeding areas in the Auckland Islands for the Hooker s or New Zealand Sea Lion, a rare member of the seal family.
6 DAY 27: The Snares - North East Island North East Island is the largest of The Snares and it is claimed that this one island is home to more nesting seabirds than all of the British Isles together. We will arrive early in the morning and cruise (landings are not permitted) along the sheltered eastern side of the rugged coastline by Zodiac. DAY 28: Invercargill Early this morning you will arrive in the Port of Bluff. After a final breakfast you will bid farewell to your fellow voyagers and take a complimentary coach transfer to either a central city point or to the airport. During our voyage, circumstances may make it necessary or desirable to deviate from the proposed itinerary. This can include poor weather and opportunities for making unplanned excursions. Your Expedition Leader will keep you fully informed. Landings at the Subantarctic Islands of New Zealand are by permit only as administered by the Government of New Zealand. No landings are permitted at The Snares.

Contact us for more details Price Dependent upon Season and availability SUSTAINABILITY GUIDANCE FOR VISITORS TO THE ANTARCTIC RECOMMENDATION XVIII-1, ADOPTED AT THE ANTARCTIC TREATY MEETING, KYOTO, 1994 Activities in the Antarctic are governed by the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 and associated agreements, referred to collectively as the Antarctic Treaty System. The Treaty established as a zone of peace and science. In 1991, the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties adopted the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, which designates the Antarctic as a natural reserve. The Protocol sets out environmental principles, procedures and obligations for the comprehensive protection of the Antarctic environment, and its dependent and associated ecosystems. The Consultative Parties have agreed that as far as possible and in accordance with their legal system, the provisions of the Protocol should be applied as appropriate. The Environmental Protocol was ratified in January The Environmental Protocol applies to tourism and non-governmental activities, as well as governmental activities in the Antarctic Treaty Area. It is intended to ensure that these activities, do not have adverse impacts on the Antarctic environment, or on its scientific and aesthetic values. This Guidance for Visitors to the Antarctic is intended to ensure that all visitors are aware of, and are therefore able to comply with, the Treaty and the Protocol. Visitors are, of course, bound by national laws and regulations applicable to activities in the Antarctic. PROTECT ANTARCTIC WILDLIFE Taking or harmful interference with Antarctic wildlife is prohibited except in accordance with a permit issued by a national authority. Do not use aircraft, vessels, small boats, or other means of transport in ways that disturb wildlife, either at sea or on land. Do not feed, touch, or handle birds or seals, or approach or photograph them in ways that cause them to alter their behavior. Special care is needed when animals are breeding or molting. Do not damage plants, for example by walking, driving, or landing on extensive moss beds or lichen-covered scree slopes. Do not use guns or explosives. Keep noise to the minimum to avoid frightening wildlife. Do not bring non-native plants or animals into the Antarctic, such as live poultry, pet dogs
8 and cats, or house plants. RESPECT PROTECTED AREAS A variety of areas in the Antarctic have been afforded special protection because of their particular ecological, scientific, historic, or other values. Entry into certain areas may be prohibited except in accordance with a permit issued by an appropriate national authority. Activities in and near designated Historic Sites and Monuments and certain other areas may be subject to special restrictions. Know the locations of areas that have been afforded special protection and any restrictions regarding entry and activities that can be carried out in and near them. Observe applicable restrictions. Do not damage, remove, or destroy Historic Sites or Monuments or any artifacts associated with them. RESPECT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Do not interfere with scientific research, facilities or equipment. Obtain permission before visiting Antarctic science and support facilities; reconfirm arrangements hours before arrival; and comply with the rules regarding such visits. Do not interfere with, or remove, scientific equipment or marker posts, and do not disturb experimental study sites, field camps, or supplies. BE SAFE Be prepared for severe and changeable weather and ensure that your equipment and clothing meet Antarctic standards. Remember that the Antarctic environment is inhospitable, unpredictable, and potentially dangerous. Know your capabilities and the dangers posed by the Antarctic environment, and act accordingly. Plan activities with safety in mind at all times. Keep a safe distance from all wildlife, both on land and at sea. Take note of, and act on, the advice and instructions from your leaders; do not stray from your group. Do not walk onto glaciers or large snow fields without the proper equipment and experience; there is a real danger of falling into hidden crevasses. Do not expect a rescue service. Self-sufficiency is increased and risks reduced by sound planning, quality equipment, and trained personnel. Do not enter emergency refuges (except in emergencies). If you use equipment or food from a refuge, inform the nearest research station or national authority once the emergency is over. Respect any smoking restrictions, particularly around buildings, and take great care to safeguard against the danger of fire. This is a real hazard in the dry environment of. KEEP ANTARCTICA PRISTINE remains relatively pristine, the largest wilderness area on Earth. It has not yet been subjected to large-scale human perturbations. Please keep it that way.
9 Do not dispose of litter or garbage on land. Open burning is prohibited. Do not disturb or pollute lakes or streams. Any materials discarded at sea must be disposed of properly. Do not paint or engrave names or graffiti on rocks or buildings. Do not collect or take away biological or geological specimens or man-made artifacts as a souvenir, including rocks, bones, eggs, fossils, and parts or contents of buildings. Do not deface or vandalize buildings or emergency refuges, whether occupied, abandoned, or unoccupied.
