Antarctica,
Abundant wildlife, vast icy plains, majestic glimmering mountains, giant blue icebergs this pristine continent is a place that most people can only imagine visiting
We operate our Antarctic voyages out of South America, and concentrate on the Antarctic Peninsula and the sub-Antarctic islands of the South Atlantic. The Antarctic Peninsula is the most accessible, affordable and, arguably, the prettiest part of Antarctica, and has the highest concentration of wildlife on the continent. All of our voyages begin in the town at the end of the world', Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina. We sail down the Beagle Channel accompanied by albatrosses and head into the Drake Passage. Once at sea, our informal educational program consisting of presentations, discussions and other activities gets under way. As we continue south towards the Antarctic Peninsula we see our first icebergs and thrill to our first glimpse of Antarctica. The western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula is a rugged, mountainous spur flanked by ancient glaciers and massive ice shelves that creep down to the water's edge. In the lee of the peninsula lie dozens of islands, home to extraordinary concentrations of wildlife, including Weddell seals, elephant seals, skuas, giant petrels and rookeries of gentoo, chinstrap and Adelie penguins.
