Antarctic Circle Quest
17 Days · Antarctica, Argentina
One of the most exciting voyages in Antarctica, going south of the Circle and beyond, into waters untouched by all but the lucky few
The aim on this voyage is to head as far south as ice and weather permit. The adventure begins in earnest when inside the Antarctic circle. The ice-rated ship enables us to navigate through some of the world's most breathtaking waterways many littered with brash ice, `growlers' and colossal, stunning icebergs. We'll attempt to land on the Antarctic continent south of the circle, perhaps visiting a research station. After a few days exploring the "deep south", there are further shore excursions on the northerly route along the Antarctic Peninsula. The ship is small enough to navigate through the narrow Lemaire Channel, with glacial walls towering high on both sides, leading to a jigsaw of jewel-like islands that are

The adventure was, of course, fantastic. We almost had to pinch ourselves some mornings looking out onto even more unsurpassable scenery. The expedition leader and his team all worked so hard to make it memorable. Peter McDonald
