Don't Miss in Commonwealth Bay
Mawson's Huts: If your ship manages to get into Commonwealth Bay, there's no guarantee you will make it to Mawson's Huts due to weather conditions. Fewer people have visited the huts than have climbed to the top of Mount Everest.
If luck is on your side, you could get to see where Australia's greatest polar explorer based his studies of the polar region and went on to survive against the odds with very little food or supplies.
The huts have endured the most challenging of weather conditions. A conservation management plan is in place to ensure these structures remain standing due to their significance to the history of Antarctic exploration.
