Additional Information
This trip is the perfect short, introductory expedition to the Antarctic
Peninsula, the most pristine wilderness on earth. We reduce the Drake Passage
crossing from two days to two hours by flying from Punta Arenas to King
George Island in the South Shetland Islands. We spend the next four days
sailing between the South Shetlands and the Antarctic Peninsula, past
towering glacier-capped mountains rising from a brilliant blue sea, dotted
with ice floes, and enjoying the company of sea birds, penguins, seals and
whales. We hope to visit magnificent spots such as Petermann Island, Neko
Harbour and the Gerlache Strait, and have the chance to scramble up to a high
point for an unforgettable view of Port Lockeroy. On this adventure we will
also visit penguin colonies, listen for calving glaciers, and visit both
historic sites and research stations.
