Voyages of Discovery launches Antarctica website
Voyages of Discovery has created a new website, www.antarcticadiscovery.com, dedicated to Antarctica.
Passengers, crew and onboard lecturers are able to upload their own photos, video clips and journals detailing their experiences.
The site has a strong focus on people, landscapes and wildlife and pinpoints places, journals and photos onto an interactive Antarctica satellite map.
Voyages of Discovery managing director, David Yellow, explained: “It’s all too easy for travel companies to portray Antarctica as the last great pioneering destination on earth, with obvious connections to past explorers used to make a common link.
We feel as a company that it is time to update this image. The truth is that Antarctica is “on the radar” of many more people than even five years ago.”
The website also has detailed location summaries, biographies of contributors, photo and caption galleries, video players, and tools for sending images and page links to other people.
