Drones in Antarctica - Rules & Regulations
AE Expeditions has a strict no drones policy on board our expeditions.
In remote wilderness areas visited on our voyages, the use of drones has a negative effect on local wildlife. Drones that malfunction can crash and pollute the pristine environment, injure wildlife, may not be retrieved and could possibly be consumed by and harm/injure wildlife. Please do not bring drones with you on an AE Expeditions voyage.
