We have shared the IAATO guidelines for visitors to Antarctica ahead of departure to help mitigate the introduction and spread of the virus. Before you leave home, please ensure that anything that may come into contact with the Antarctic environment is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Please use IAATO’s Don’t Pack a Pest guide to assist you. While in Antarctica, please follow existing protocols including daily biosecurity procedures and maintain minimum distances from wildlife. In addition, please:  Do not sit, kneel or lay down during landings.  Do not place any equipment on the ground or snow. The Expedition Team will be reminding all passengers on the protocols for Avian Flu
