Tours & Trips between Antarctica and South Shetland Islands.

Visit destinations like Antarctic Peninsula, Drake Passage, Weddell Sea (Antarctica) & South Shetland Islands (South Shetland Islands).

Antarctica is a continent, not a country. This frozen place a little smaller than 2x Australia has mountains, deserts and a whole lot of snow and ice. Different countries claim parts of it, but very few people live there. The only real inhabitants are penguins.

You can reach Antarctica by ship from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

South Shetland Islands

South Shetland Islands
The South Shetland Islands are a group of islands in the Southern Ocean between the Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia Island, without much flora or fauna, because of the harsh, cold and windy climate.

The Falkland Islands, South Georgia, South Orkney Islands and South Shetland Islands are all claimed by (far-away) Great Britain and (nearby) Argentina.
