Extreme Weddell Sea - an Antarctic Adventure

Albatros Expeditions

Sobre Este Itinerario

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the Weddell Sea and the Seventh Continent. Experience the incredible wildlife of these icy waters, dive deep into the pristine nature of Antarctica on a complimentary kayak, snowshoe, or camping excursion in this 12-day action-packed adventure. Departing Argentina's southernmost city of Ushuaia, we cross the mighty Drake Passage en-route to the South Shetland Islands, aiming to arrive on the afternoon of the third day of our voyage (weather permitting). Continuing southward from the South Shetland Islands, we will delve deeper into the inlets and bays of the Antarctic Peninsula, entering the famous Gerlache Strait... From here, we will venture into the Antarctic Sound and the icy Weddell Sea, the vast icebound wilderness which defeated many early Antarctic expeditions.
