Subantarctic Islands Expedition Cruise
The Subantarctic Islands are small havens for some of the most abundant and unique wildlife on the planet. They lie in the cool temperate zone north of Antarctica and can be reached either from the south of New Zealand or Argentina. The Subantarctic islands generally have a milder climate than the rest of Antarctica, with temperatures up to 17 degrees Celsius above freezing in the summer months, which means that various flowers, such as native orchids, bloom in the middle of the summer. However, it is often the wind that determines the 'feels like' temperature.

Because of the milder climate, the courtship period on the Sub-Antarctic Islands is earlier in the season than on the more southernly continent.
