ITINERARY
Day 1 : King George Island, South Shetland Islands
King
George Island has come to be known as the unofficial capital of
Antarctica with its various research stations located on the island. As
a haven for an incredible amount of wildlife, including chinstrap and
Gentoo penguins, and elephant, leopard and Weddell seals,
it’s a prime
locale for scientific research. If your expedition begins or ends here,
then your charter flight lands in or departs from Eduardo Frei Montalva
Station, the Chilean air base for Antarctica expeditions with flight
options over the Drake Passage. Lying within the Fildes Peninsula,
where Chile laid claim to Antarctic territory, the base is an important
research station. Made up of over 40 buildings that include a school,
bank, hospital and post office, it resembles more a small village than
a base.
Day
2 : Drake Passage Navigation
Navigating
the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of explorers.
Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide the way. To
witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica all the more
triumphant.
The Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the
Americas to the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White
Continent. This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern
sea water creates powerful currents that test your mettle.
But the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not
compare. The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment
that attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance
to witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that
accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the
Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the
cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.
While the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may
still get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the
channel is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into
Antarctica. That’s one of the more splendid characteristics
of the Drake Passage - you never know what you will get.
As you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the
South Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious
landing. You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh
continent.
Day
2-6 : Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula - Captain's Choice
Nicknamed
The White Continent for its vast expanse of icebergs, snow and
glaciers, Antarctica is often the final frontier for experienced
explorers to conquer. As you navigate Antarctic waters, you may set
foot on sites like Beak Island, Brown Bluff, Cierva Cove, Hidden Bay
and many more. Each landing throughout the continent offers its own
unique landscape, from expansive tundra to rugged mountain peaks, all
beckoning you to follow the paths that few explorers have trekked
before.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE
— Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and
changing
sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most from your
expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with a spontaneous sense
of exploration as your Captain works with our expedition team to
determine possible shore landings and Zodiac safaris. All itinerary
routes serve as examples and are subject to change based on current
conditions, prioritizing the safety and optimal expedition experience
for all guests.
Day
7 : Exploring the Antarctic Sound - Captain's Choice
Imagine
setting foot on the ethereal landscape of the Antarctic Sound, where
the whispers of ancient glaciers echo. It’s a land of stark
contrasts, known for tabular icebergs, stunning blue waters and
abundant wildlife. It’s a place where the horizon seems
endless, and time stands still. Each landing becomes a thrilling
chapter in your adventure book. Step ashore onto remote, ice-strewn
beaches and feel the crisp Antarctic air invigorate your senses. Greet
curious penguins waddling across the snowy expanses, while seals lounge
nonchalantly on drifting ice floes. Amid the Antarctic
Sound’s possible landings, Paulet Island stands out with its
volcanic landscape and some of the largest colonies of
Adélie penguins in Antarctica. Remnants of historical
expeditions can be found throughout, connecting you to explorers of the
past. This is not just a destination; it’s an invitation to
the adventure of a lifetime. Together, we will unearth the secrets of
this frozen frontier.
