Aurora Expeditions is set to host an Antarctica Climate Expedition in 2023, led by marine biologist and conservationist Dr Sylvia Earle.

Levels of Antarctic sea ice last year dropped to record lows

The Australian expedition line is seeking 100 applications for the 12-day event, which embarks on 13 February, 2023, with two nights and a full-day conference in Ushuaia, Argentina.

The guests will then sail on a nine-day voyage on Sylvia Earle and the trip will conclude with a night in Punta Arenas in Chile.

The route features the Drake Passage, Aitcho Islands, Hope Bay, Brown Bluff, Enterprise Island and Lemaire Channel.

In partnership with Ocean Geographic and Dr Earle, the line plans to address the warming climate and loss of ice in the southern polar region as "a direct threat to the future of human life".
