    King George Island, Antarctica
    • King George Island, Antarctica
    • Depart: 6:00 pm
    King George Island has come to be known as the unofficial capital of Antarctica with its various research stations located on the island. As a haven for an incredible amount of wildlife, including chinstrap and gentoo penguins, and elephant, leopard, and Weddell seals, it's a prime locale for scientific research. If your expedition begins or ends here, then your charter flight lands in or departs from Eduardo Frei Montalva Station, the Chilean air base for Antarctica expeditions with flight options over the Drake Passage. Lying within the Fildes Peninsula, where Chile laid claim to Antarctic territory, the base is an important research station.

    Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica
    • Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica
    Part of the greater Antarctica region, the South Shetland Islands contain plenty of wildlife, scenic landscapes, hiking opportunities, and magnificent viewpoints that inspire a sense of discovering another world. A possible landing on Elephant Island, named for the shape of its cliffside and the elephant seals that call it home, puts you on the same path as the famous Shackleton Expedition. Deception Island, another possible landing and named for its very nature, is in fact a volcanic caldera where you can find heated springs amid the striking black sands. Other stops could include Half Moon Island, Yankee Harbour, Point Wild, and Barrientos Island, where you can find plenty of gentoo penguin rookeries. CAPTAIN'S CHOICE - Captain's Choice ports of call add to the sense of adventure and an element of surprise. Your ship's captain will sail around changing weather conditions as needed and take you to the best areas for wildlife viewing. ...
