Event Details

Deception Island is a volcanic island located in the South Shetland Islands off the northwest side of the Antarctic Peninsula. With frequent eruptions, the most recent of which occurring in 1992, this volcano is now the home to Antarctic Fur Seals, Southern Elephant Seals and the world’s largest colony of Chinstrap Penguins. Join Eco-Photo Explorers as they examine the fascinating history of this foreboding place and discover the rich diversity of life here. Plunge beneath the icy waters into the caldera of this restless volcano on a unique Scuba dive to document life below the surface.
