In the morning, we'll transfer to Punta Arenas airport for a charter flight to King George Island in Antarctica, weather permitting. The flight takes about one hour and forty-five minutes. Upon arrival on King George Island, the expedition team will welcome you and prepare you for the Zodiac transfer to the vessel. You'll have time to settle into your cabin before essential safety briefings.

Note: King George Island, situated in the South Shetland Islands at the northern part of the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the most remote places on Earth. Safe take-off and landing require a clear sky with perfect visibility. In case of flight delays, a contingency plan will be implemented, prioritizing your safety.
