Summary The aim on this voyage is to head as far south as ice and weather permit Day 1 Start Ushuaia, Argentina Day 2 Board Ship And Sail Along The Beagle Channel Day 3-4 Cross The Drake Passage Day 5-7 South Shetland Islands And Antarctic Peninsula Day 8-9 Antarctic Circle Day 10-11 Northbound Along The Peninsula Day 12-13 Sail Back Through The Drake Passage Day 14 Disembark And End Ushuaia Travel Cities (2): Buenos Aires, Ushuaia Details After a few days exploring the 'deep south', there are further shore excursions on the northerly route along the Antarctic Peninsula. The ship is small enough to navigate through the narrow Lemaire Channel, with glacial walls towering high on both sides, leading to a jigsaw of jewel-like islands that are home to huge penguin rookeries, Elephant seals and countless seabirds. There are also whales: imagine a pair of Humpbacks, at least 30 tonnes of mammal, rising imperiously against a turquoise ice-wall viewed from a Zodiac only metres away, and you have the essence of the Antarctic.
