Expedition 🇦🇶
Antarctica
Emperor penguins on the ice, whales in the polar sea, and the last great wilderness at the bottom of the world.
6 species to spot
Wildlife overview
Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, a white desert where life clings to the coast and the edge of the ice. Emperor penguins breed through the polar winter, seals haul out on floes, and whales feed in rich Southern Ocean waters during the brief summer.
For Catch'Um collectors, Antarctica is the ultimate expedition: legendary, remote, and home to wildlife that endures conditions no other species can match.
