There won't be much you don't know about Heritage Expeditions by the time you leave this site, nor for that matter, Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic Islands.
The site uses a map-based interface and provides detailed area maps to create additional relevance to the would-be explorer. This also makes relevant information that much easier to locate.
Detailed seasonal iteneraries are available as .pdf (Adobe Acrobat files), and a link is provided to download the free software, in case you don't already have it.
A secure order form allows purchase of videos and maps relating to the regions visited by the company plus there's an email form which allows you to make a number of different enquiries
There's not really anything "wrong" with this site, but since it represents such a unique region of the world, there could perhaps be a little "entertainment value", in the form of animation, sound, etc. to create a more unique experience for the visitor.
If you're planning a trip to this part of the world however, there probably isn't a better place to start.
