Antarctica Off the Beaten Track 2012-13
Sailing in comfort we begin this 12 night, 13 day expedition at the tip of South America onboard Antarctica’s mobile wilderness/adventure lodge. We chart a course through the Drake Passage and might make landfall in the South Shetland Islands prior to reaching the Antarctic Peninsula. When we arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula, be prepared to be dazzled. Even our experienced staff members many of whom have visited the southern region a hundred times or more are still astonished by its pristine beauty. The abundance of wildlife is truly extraordinary including five seal species, massive penguin rookeries of gentoo, adélie and chinstrap as well as a profusion of seabirds from albatross to skuas. It is nature you will experience up close and personal on frequent specialized excursions inland and on water.
Note: Weather, ice and other mitigating factors may result in changes to our itinerary and alteration to certain shore excursions.
