Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula

This voyage takes you via the Falkland Islands to the island of South Georgia, one of the remotest and wildest places of the United Kingdom's Overseas Territories, the only access being by ship. The island is completely mountainous, with snow-capped mountains rising to 2934 metres, and more than 160 glaciers dropping down into the sea. The island is virtually unspoilt by man and so offers unique opportunities to observe the unparalleled wildlife and spectacular scenery of this most beautiful part of the Southern Ocean, a true Antarctic oasis. Then on to Antarctica, the fabled White Continent where the Antarctic Peninsula offers the most dramatic scenery and largest variety of wildlife in Antarctica. Spectacular ice-bergs, glaciers and high mountains combined with abundant and tame wildlife will leave you with unforgettable memories.
