South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
Deception Island, Lemaire Channel, Neko Harbour, Paradise Bay, Gerlache Strait...these are the names that conjure iconic images of the Antarctic Peninsula: Towering glacier capped mountains rising from a brilliant blue sea, dotted with ice floes. You'll visit penguin colonies, listen for calving glaciers, visit historic sites and research stations.
