Sailing from Ushuaia in Argentina, this 19 or 20-day expedition is for wildlife watchers who are always on the move. Visiting the best wildlife hotspots and exploring some of the most dramatic wilderness areas in Antarctica, there will always be plenty to keep you occupied. Yet there will still be time for you to sit quietly and soak up the atmosphere. Optional adventures such as camping and kayaking are available on selected adventure ship departures. You will receive a warm welcome from the residents of the historic Falkland Islands, where you will explore some of the privately owned outer islands, home to great concentrations of wildlife. Flightless Steamer Ducks, Magellanic and Gentoo Penguins are just some of the highlights on Carcass Island while nearby West Point boasts fantastic Rockhopper Penguin colonies. Peale’s and Commerson’s Dolphins are often seen along the coast and you may find them bow-riding or playing alongside the ship. Great Wandering Albatross will accompany the ship as you sail across the Antarctic convergence to the remote rugged and hauntingly beautiful island of South Georgia. This sub-Antarctic island has its own astonishing concentrations of wildlife and awe-inspiring scenery, ranging from impressive mountains and mighty glaciers to deep fjords and low-lying grassland. Renowned as a destination for birders, and as one of the most beautiful and inspiring places on Earth, the island has more wildlife than virtually anywhere else on the planet. Many species breed here including Wandering Albatross, Southern Giant Petrels and Fur Seals. Hiking glaciated terrain to hilltops will give you magnificent views of King Penguin rookeries. The island also played a significant role in Ernest Shackleton’s epic journey after the sinking of his ship the ‘Endurance’, and you will visit his grave at Grytviken, a onceactive whaling station. Explorers' Route Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula From the overwhelming wildlife populations of the sub-Antarctic to the magnificent scenery of the Antarctic Peninsula, this is the ultimate Antarctic experience.
