It is looking far and wide for penguin enthusiasts to help it celebrate its birthday and spread awareness of Antarctica and its penguins. Up to 17 March, you can apply to become Antarctica21’s Chief Flying Penguin Officer, and receive a complimentary trip.
Antarctica21 President, Jaime Vasquez, says, “To celebrate our anniversary this year, we are giving one lucky person a chance to win a trip to Antarctica and share in our passion for the continent.”
One fortunate winner will be chosen at random from all eligible entries to sail aboard the Ocean Nova exploration ship to the Antarctica for free.
The trip will take place aboard the Single Cabin Classic Antarctica Air-Cruise from December 7 to 14, 2023, valued at US$17,795.
