South Georgia, Weddell Sea and Falkland Islands

23 Days

Celebrating one of the greatest survival stories in Antarctic exploration, we take you into the Weddell Sea, where Ernest Shackleton commenced the first crossing of Antarctica. We follow in his wake, albeit in comfort and safety, to Elephant Island and South Georgia, shining a light on his heroic voyage. In the Weddell Sea we attempt to visit fossil-rich islands, wildlife havens, remnants of historic explorers’ huts, and even land on the Antarctic continent itself. Famed for its abandoned whaling stations, South Georgia is home to millions of fur seals and penguins, wallows of elephant seals, herds of reindeer and nesting albatross. This voyage also includes the Falkland Islands.
