United by a shared passion for ocean discovery and preservation, PONANT has formed an alliance with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)—the world’s largest independent organization dedicated to ocean science—to advance marine research and education.

You are invited to explore Antarctica in the company of WHOI scientists. The White Continent is often seen as a destination; for ocean scientists, it is something far more profound. It is the heartbeat of the planet, shaping global systems by regulating climate, circulating heat, storing carbon, and sustaining life well beyond the polar regions.
