South Georgia Explorer

South Georgia Explorer
This 15-day expedition to South Georgia will take you to one of the most remote and beautiful places on Earth. You will see amazing wildlife, including king penguins, elephant seals, and wandering albatrosses. You will also experience stunning scenery, such as glaciers, mountains, and fjords. This is an incredible journey that will create memories that will last a lifetime.

Day by day

Day 1 : Ushuaia & Beagle Channel
Where the world ends, your journey begins. Ushuaia is located at the very southernmost tip of South America, and it's reputedly the world's southernmost city. You will depart from the small town of Tierra del Fuego (nicknamed "The End of the World") in the late afternoon and spend the rest of the night sailing the Beagle Channel, which is surrounded by mountains.
Day 2 & 3 : South Georgia & Antarctic Convergence
On your way to South Georgia you will cross the Antarctic Convergence. In just a few short hours the temperature drops dramatically, and nutrient-rich water is brought to the surface by colliding water column. The phenomenon is attracting a variety of seabirds to the area, such as albatrosses, petrels and prions.
