Affiliate Disclosure

By Elena Marsh · Updated August 2026

Antarctic Shot does not currently participate in affiliate or commission-based partnerships with any operator listed on this site (Poseidon Expeditions, Lindblad Expeditions/National Geographic, Quark Expeditions, Oceanwide Expeditions, or Aurora Expeditions). Links to operator websites in our operator comparison are provided for reference only — we do not receive compensation for clicks, bookings, or inquiries generated through them, and those links carry a nofollow tag reflecting that they are not endorsed commercial placements.

Our editorial decisions — including which operator is named "Editor's Choice" — are based solely on the criteria described in our editorial policy: ship size, landing cadence, photography program, regulatory membership, and published pricing. No operator can pay for a better ranking, a placement, or a more favorable review on this site, and no member of our team, including Diego Álvarez, our Polar Expedition Consultant, currently works for or is compensated by any operator listed here — see our our team page for how we manage that.

If Antarctic Shot enters into an affiliate or commission-based relationship with any operator going forward, this page will be updated to name the specific relationship, and any affiliate links added to the site will be clearly marked as such at the point where they appear — not disclosed only here. Existing content will not be silently rewritten to favor a new commercial partner; any change to a ranking or a verdict is governed by the criteria in our editorial policy, independent of whether a commercial relationship exists.

Questions about this policy, or about a specific link on the site, can be sent through our contact page.
