Both whales and seals abound here at this time and can be found feeding in the rich waters around the ice edge. Sir James Clark Ross discovered the Ross Sea in 1841. Whales were hunted here in the 1920’s and more recently there has been some tooth fishing. The dynamic ecosystems that are unique to these regions are fragile and barely understood. It is a land of dramatic landscapes: photographers have attempted to capture it on film, artists to paint it, poets and writers to describe it. But to fully appreciate it, you must experience it yourself. Tours to Antarctica from New Zealand take you further south into the Continent than any sea route and include New Zealand and Australia's [Subantarctic](https://www.heritage-expeditions.com/destinations/subantarctic-islands-travel/) The Snares, Auckland, Campbell and Macquarie Islands, as featured in Conde Nast Traveler's influential '[The 25 Best Places to Go in 2025](https://www.cntraveler.com/story/best-places-to-go-in-2025)' list along with Heritage Expeditions and our Subantarctic voyages. The book [Galapagos of the Antarctic, Wild Islands South of New Zealand](https://www.heritage-expeditions.com/galapagos-of-the-antarctic/) written by Rodney Russ and Aleks Terauds, and published by Heritage Expeditions, describes all of these islands in great detail. Immediately to the west of the Ross Sea is a region known as East Antarctica, discovered by the French explorer Dumont d’Urville in 1840. It was mapped in detail much later by the Australian Antarctic Expedition of 1911 to 1913 led by Sir Douglas Mawson. The region is often referred to as the ‘Home of the Blizzard.’ It is in these two regions that the relics of the ‘heroic period’ of Antarctic exploration can be seen and experienced. There are 5 historic huts and many other historic sites that bring this period of Antarctic history alive in a way that the many journals and books written about them can’t. To visit Borchgrevink’s Hut at Cape Adare, Shackleton’s Hut at Cape Royds, Mawson's Huts at Cape Denison, Scott’s Huts at Cape Evans and Hut Point are truly unique experiences that brings this period of history to life. Heritage Expeditions are the original and most experienced Ross Sea operators and have been exploring the Ross Sea region for more than 35 years.
