Day 2 - Embarkation Day

After embarkation, you cruise down the Beagle Channel. From the deck, birderscan add albatross, penguins and petrels to their life list. Later in the eveningeveryone should be on deck to watch the sure-footed Channel pilot clamber down

to the boat sent to collect him.

Day 3-4 - Crossing the Drake Passage

Prepare for rough water, but do not be disappointed if your crossing of the DrakePassage is smooth sailing. The world's roughest stretch of water is continuallychanges. I made many crossings and December has been the best time for calmseas.

Day 5-8 - South Shetland Islands & the Peninsula

Many factors play a role in shaping the expedition's itinerary weather, ice and thepresence of wildlife. Perhaps, you'll feel salt spray on your face as the Zodiacweaves in and around grounded icebergs in Pleneau Bay. Scramble to the top of acraggy hill for an unforgettable view of a splendid chasm near Port Lockroy. Sitquietly on a pebbled beach to wait for a curious penguin chick to approach. Or takea plunge into the icy waters of Neko Harbour.

The natural cycle of life ensures that every expedition is different. And that everyexpedition itinerary is full of surprises! In Antarctica, silence is so complete thatinterruptions become indelible memories; noisy penguins squabbling over prized

pebbles, the boom and crack of a calving glacier.

As you sail from island to shore to bay, the Expedition Team makes time forcontemplation, tests your endurance and engages your curiosity.
