Departing from Ushuaia in Argentina, you'll cross the mighty Drake Passage on our way to the South Shetland Islands, where we plan to make our first Zodiac landing and begin your exploration. The expert guides will make landings at penguin rookeries, research stations and fascinating sights that allow you to enjoy impressive views. Sailing eastward, you will explore the Antarctic Sound with its mighty icebergs and journey to the Weddell Sea in search for wildlife. On the way back, you'll follow in Ernest Shackleton footsteps as you navigate close to Elephant Island. On no other journey can you experience so much pristine nature and varied wildlife in so few days!
