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, and ice-filled fjords while spotting seabirds, penguins, seals, and whales along the way. Admire the glaciated mountains and ice cliffs of Paradise Harbour. Look on as groups of icebergs calve off the mainland.
When to travel
