Debido a la naturaleza del campo magnético terrestre, las auroras solo aparecen en los polos. Por lo general, son visibles por encima de la marca de latitud de 60 ° en el norte y por debajo de la latitud de 60 ° en el sur (estas 'luces del sur' se denominan aurora austral).

Participants should be confident in their footing and have an average level of fitness – outings may be up to three hours in duration. Those who enjoy hiking trails or taking long walks at home will possess enough fitness to enjoy this activity. As with any other activity, you will get more enjoyment out of it with some preparation in advance, such as long walks with uphill sections or bike riding.
In Antarctica, the longest hike can be 2-3 hours long, while in the Arctic it can be a full day tour.
Skiing More info about this activity
Skiing in Polar regions requires a reasonable level of fitness and previous skiing experience. The snow conditions will be varied and the terrain can be challenging at times. While you don’t need to be a back-country athlete to participate, and there are opportunities to develop skills during the expedition, please note it is recommended a minimum ability as follows:
* Advanced level of skiing or snowboarding ability (ability to ski blue or black resort runs is required).
* Off-piste experience in a variety of snow conditions.
* Previous ski touring experience is an advantage, but not essential (depending on your off-piste experience and overall ability).
Fishing More info about this activity
Assisted by the naturalist or local guides, you will look for the perfect spot and spend a quiet momento practicing this sport or you will cut your hole on the ice floe or on frozen lakes and try to catch fish using an ancestral method. This activity off the beaten path will equally delight fans of sports fishing and those who are curious for new discoveries.
All Terrain Excursions More info about this activity
Jump on an excursion off the beaten track on specially designed and guided vehicles, or do it by yourself with a GPS, depending on the location you are. A great way to get deeper into the wild.
