VLISSINGEN, Países Bajos, January 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Tras exploraciones de éxito en 2013 y 2015, la compañía de cruceros polares holandesa Oceanwide Expeditions ha anunciado dos nuevas expediciones al Mar de Ross en 2017. El buque reforzado contra el hielo "Ortelius" se preparará con helicópteros para los dos cruceros por la Antártida, navegando desde el continente sudamericano a la península de la Antártida, cruzando el Círculo Polar más al oeste hasta la Isla Pedro I , navegando por el mar de Bellingshausen a lo largo del iceberg de "deep Antarctica" en el mar de Ross. El viaje continúa a la deshabitada isla sub antártica de Campbell y termina tras 32 días en Nueva Zelanda. El segundo crucero ofrece el mismo itinerario, pero al revés.

El reto del Mar de Ross   

La región del Mar de Ross de la Antártida siempre ha sido un sueño pero también un reto para los exploradores.  La placa de hielo de Ross previene una completa operación estacional y las distancias son enormes. A parte de los extremos, los sitios de aterrizaje aún son difíciles de alcanzar. "Con las ventajas de "Ortelius" en combinación con el uso de helicópteros, nuestros viajeros tendrán grandes oportunidades de explorar los sitios más fascinantes de la Antártida", dijo el Director Michel van Gessel.  

Viajes de descubrimiento histórico   

El explorador polar británico Sir James Clark Ross descubrió la región del Mar de Ross en 1841. Se necesitaron otros 60 años antes de que comenzase la exploración al  Polo Sur cuando la Real Sociedad Geografica Britanica envió a Robert Falcon Scott en su viaje en 1901, seguido de Ernest Shackleton (1907-09), el explorador japonés Nobu Shirase (1910-12), y otro intento de Scott y el explorador noruego Roald Amundsen que llegaron al polo en 1911. Muchas de las reliquias (como las cabañas de Scott y Shackleton) de esta era dorada en la exploración aún existen, conservadas por el frío, y listas para ser visitadas por los exploradores actuales.

La expedición

Muy pocas expediciones se han aventurado hasta el momento al sur del Mar de Ross. Oceanwide Expeditions intenta bajar a los pasajeros en áreas como la poco visitada isla volcánica de Pedro I, las cabañas de los exploradores británicos Ernest Shackleton y Robert Falcon Scott en la Isla de Ross , la estación científica de McMurdo , y los Valles Secos - donde las condiciones son lo más parecido a las condiciones en Marte - y la Isla Campbell , lugar de los albatros reales del sur.

El viaje contiene uno de los últimos espacios naturales en la tierra, poco visitado por el hombre. Los pasajeros visitarán la mayor formación de hielo de la Antártida y encontrarán una increíble diversidad de vida a pesar de las duras condiciones. En el Mar de Ross se pueden ver rorcuales aliblancas, orcas, focas de Weddel y cangrejeras, pingüinos adelie y emperador, petreles y págalos.

Concurso  

Oceanwide Expeditions ofrece a todo el mundo la oportunidad de ganar un pasaje de crucero gratis en el buque Ortelius con el concurso sobre el Mar de Ross que estamos llevando a cabo.

Acerca de Oceanwide Expeditions   

Desde 1996 Oceanwide Expeditions ha ofrecido expediciones polares para grupos pequeños al Ártico y la Antártida. Posee, gestiona y opera los barcos m/v Plancius (116 pax), m/v Ortelius (116 pax), s/v Rembrandt van Rijn (33 pax) y s/v Noorderlicht (20 pax). Los barcos cumplen las normas de seguridad internacionales más estrictas para barcos de pasajeros, como la SOLAS (Safety-Of-Life-At-Sea) y permiten a la tripulación navegar con seguridad mediante estrechas y remotas vías marítimas de hielo.

Oceanwide es el líder de mercado en el Ártico y es cuatro veces ganador del World Travel Award por ser el mejor operador de expediciones polares del mundo. La fundación holandesa "Plancius Foundation" (1981-1996) fue la predecesora de Oceanwide Expeditions. En 1983 fue el primer operador de cruceros que organizó anualmente expediciones a Spitsbergen.
