Sail through incredible frozen seascapes and spot diverse wildlife. Pass through Chile’s Frei Station and Russia’s Bellingshausen Station finding out about life on these barely inhabited islands.
Discover the stunning landscapes of the South Shetland Islands on the western coast of the Antarctic. Pass majestic icebergs, ice-filled fjords while spotting seabirds, penguins, seals and whales along the way.
