South Shetland Islands
Over the next few days, we'll explore the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. This... more+ region offers some of the most impressive scenery in the world and the best wildlife viewing in Antarctica.

South Shetland Islands
The krill-rich waters are home to a large number of marine mammals and seabirds. The whole region... more+ is alive with penguins, which feed at sea and form large colonies in special places on land.

South Shetland Islands
The South Shetland Islands are Antarctica's most northerly islands and are likely to be our first... more+ area of exploration. This ruggedly beautiful island chain contains many historically significant landing sites and abundant wildlife. We will also explore the extremely scenic Gerlache Strait region of the Antarctic Peninsula, a pristine wilderness of spectacular white landscapes, colossal icebergs, helpful marine mammals and bustling penguin colonies. We hope to introduce you to the famous Lemaire Channel, also known as the "Kodak Gap" because of the photogenic way the narrow channel reflects the image of sheer snow-capped mountains. On all the islands and on the mainland, we find nesting colonies of gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguins, sometimes side by side. At this time, penguin chicks begin to appear in the nests. Also at this time, a high concentration of sea ice allows seals and penguins to congregate on the pack ice, a situation that attracts killer whales.

Minke whales have started to arrive and leopard seals can be seen patrolling the coast near the... more+ penguin colonies.

Our knowledgeable guides will suggest hikes and climbs to help you better appreciate this raw polar nature. For sea kayakers, Antarctica's wildlife-rich waters offer plenty of opportunities to paddle with seals and penguins on some of the world's most scenic waterways. To make the most of your stay on the white continent, you can also spend a night camping on land, surrounded by the Antarctic wilderness.
