Antarctic Explorer (EDPSX)
Duration:
12 days (may vary)
Areas: Antarctic, Argentina
Tour types: Nature & Wildlife
Description
This is an astonishing adventure into the heart of the Peninsula. It is a heady and inspiring cocktail of towering blue icebergs which refract searing blues and greens, whether against a piercing clear sky or a slate grey one. It is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife: penguins of almost all descriptions, leopard and smaller seals and the incredible whales, seen from the shore, the Zodiacs and from on board. This is a journey that appeals to many: photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, ornithologists or those who simply want to marvel at the peaks of Deception Island or the striking colours of Iceberg Alley in the most immaculate wilderness anywhere.
