Crossing the Antarctic Circle

The Antarctic Circle became the destination for a unique expedition which traveled beyond the usual southern reach of typical Antarctic explorations. The trip starts from Ushuaia before it crosses the Drake Passage to explore Antarctic Peninsula's stunning scenery which leads to further exploration of southern Antarctic territories.

The journey follows a path which includes frozen waterways and massive ice formations and flourishing animal communities. The expedition aims to reach the Antarctic Circle at 66°33′ South which only a few polar explorers have managed to attain.

Day by day

Day 1: Exploring Ushuaia
The southernmost point of Argentina hosts Ushuaia which functions as the main entry point for travelers heading to Antarctica. The port city exists between Tierra del Fuego's wild nature and its historical role as an exploration center to create its distinctive character. Visitors can walk across the waterfront area while they explore local museums and take in the beautiful mountain and fjord scenery. The team delivers an evening expedition briefing which presents their members while showing travelers what to expect during their upcoming extraordinary journey.
Day 2: Boarding the Expedition Vessel
The official start of the Antarctic adventure begins today. Travelers board the ship as they settle into their seats while the vessel sails southward through the Beagle Channel. The horizon absorbs Ushuaia while travelers prepare to explore the most isolated continent on earth.
