Little can be said in a few words about Antarctica. Once you crossed the Drake Passage, followed by myriads of seabirds, breathtaking landscapes, with majestic glaciers and icebergs, high mountains and limpid snowfields await you. These are home to a varied fauna: Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adelie Penguins are found in dense colonies. Leopard, Crabeater and Weddell’s dose in the pack ice, and the immaculate Snowy Petrels fly in the calm bays. Minke and Humpback Whales are confiding and allow close approach, while Orcas are also regularly seen in the channels.

A cruise to the intriguing Staten Island will take you to the most emblematic point in the island, the “lighthouse of the end of the world”, which inspired Jules Verne and was recently refurbished. Archaeological sites and the remains of a military prison will also be visited.
