YOUR EXPEDITION DAY BY DAY
DAY 1: SANTIAGO DE CHILE Before embarking on this adventure, you spend a night in Santiago de Chile.
DAY 2: SANTIAGO DE CHILE/ PUNTA ARENAS The next day you fl y to Punta Arenas where your expedition ship the MS Midnatsol is already waiting for you.
DAY 3: CHILEAN FJORDS We kick off by sailing south in the Magellan Strait and pass Isla Tucker and then through the extremely narrow Canal Gabriel. Chilean fjords are truly spectacular, and staying on deck to take in the view is the preferred activity.
DAY 4: CHILEAN FJORDS AND CAPE HORN We will do our best to make a landing on Cape Horn. However, this is an area known for high seas and challenging conditions and if we make it this will be a great achievement...
DAY 5: AT SEA Prepare yourself for Antarctica! Either with one of the fi lms we show, by joining lectures or with a stay in the explorer room.
DAY 6: AT SEA Trust us, Antarctica will overwhelm you. Everything is endless and white and the oceans

are full of icebergs and whales. Maybe even more awe-inspiring will be your meeting with the huge colonies of penguins. They are not afraid of humans; you can look forward to true close encounters with this most charming of bird species.
DAY 7 – 11: ANTARCTICA Come ashore to explore the impressive Ant- arctic scenery, penguins and fur seals. From deck there are lots of chances of seeing whales as well. Enjoy close encounters with wildlife and glaciers, old whaling stations and relics. You are in one of the most remote areas of the world, but trust us when we say that you will not be bored for one single second. Some of the places we will see are the South Shetlands and Cuverville Island, home to a large colony of gentoo penguins. Neko Harbour is beautifully located in the innermost part of Andvord Bay. Paradise Harbour got its descriptive name from the whalers during the last century. You can also look forward to visiting Half Moon Island, considered a jewel of diversity in the polar landscape. Join the Expedition Team and explore Antarctica with landings to get a close look at thousands of penguins and seals, enjoy kayaking and visits to the most interest- ing places. On board there are several lectures and “scientific experiments” for Young Explorers Antarctica.
