ANTARCTIC PENINSULA EXPEDITIONS
Antarctic Peninsula Highlights
Antarctic Wildlife
Home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife, the Antarctic Peninsula features thousands of penguins alongside an array of other species such as whales, seals, albatrosses, and various seabirds.
Untamed Wilderness
Cruise past towering icebergs on a zodiac, set foot on pristine white snow, and fly over massive mountains. This is one of the world’s last truly untouched wildernesses, ready for you to explore.
The Drake Passage
The legendary and historically significant 1,000
km body of water between the tip of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula is famous for the “Drake Shake” due to the large swells and strong winds.
