Audley only work with companies in Antarctica who are committed to ensuring that any impact on the environment is minimised.
Preliminary reports suggest that tourism has not had a detrimental effect on this unspoilt continent, due predominantly to the exemplary attitude of the expedition operators, who ensure that all visitors behave in the appropriate manner with regard to the environment. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), of which all companies we work with are members or associate members, establishes a clear code of conduct for ships visiting the area.
Though there is no Antarctic Government as such, the Antarctic Treaty (which came into force in 1961) is signed by 46 countries and its objectives are simple yet unique in international relations: peace, science, and to set aside any disputes over territorial sovereignty. This means Antarctica can and will remain fully protected as a natural reserve.
