ITINERARY
Day 1
King George Island, South Shetland
Islands Depart: 6:00PM
Your charter flight lands in or departs from Eduardo Frei Montalva
Station on King George Island, 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. 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.
Day 2
Exploring the South Shetland Islands - Captain’s Choice,
Antarctica
Part of the greater Antarctica region, the South Shetland Islands
contain plenty of wildlife, scenic landscapes, hiking opportunities and
magnificent viewpoints that inspire a sense of discovering another
world. A possible landing on Elephant Island, named for the shape of
its cliffside and the elephant seals that call it home, puts you on the
same path as the famous Shackleton Expedition. Deception Island,
another possible landing and named for its very nature, is in fact a
volcanic caldera where you can find heated springs amid the striking
black sands. Other stops could include Half Moon Island, Yankee Harbor,
Point Wild and Barrientos Island, where you can find plenty of Gentoo
penguin rookeries.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE – Captain’s Choice ports
of call add to the sense of adventure and an element of surprise. Your
ship’s captain will sail around changing weather conditions
as needed and take you to the best areas for wildlife viewing.
Day 3-5
Exploring Antarctica- 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.
