rocky island shores. By your fourth day cruising the Antarctic Archipelago, you may have passed by Penguin Island – blessed with diverse wildlife such as chinstrap and Adélie penguins, southern giant petrels, Antarctic terns, and skuas – and encountered Hannah Point, one of the best places to see gentoo and macaroni penguins, blue-eyed shags, and Wilson’s storm petrels, with the occasional fur seal or elephant seal among them. Don’t worry if their names sound confusing; you will soon become a pro at identifying the animals with some help from your onboard naturalists. Conditions permitting, your captain will navigate your yacht around the Lemaire Channel, a waterway that flows between spectacular snow-covered cliffs, where you’ll be on the lookout to see humpback whales, always a breathtaking sight. The evening colors are spectacular too! One of the main attractions of this area is the dramatic display of icebergs and unique ice formations – deep blue, light blue, green, clear and snow white; they come in a thrilling variety of shapes and sizes, beneath a sun that never completely sets at this time of year. You can stroll on the deck late into the night and still enjoy an amazing glacial show. Evenings are a mix of lectures, chats with the expedition team, documentary films – or perhaps just relaxing in the ship’s lounge or library. Meals BLD
11. DRAKE PASSAGE CROSSING Your return trip through the Drake Passage affords quiet time to reflect on the experiences shared with your fellow cruisers, exploring a frozen continent that few travelers have ever set foot on. During your passage onboard lectures continue to enrich your understanding and memories of Antarctica. Take the opportunity to enjoy the many amenities onboard your state-of-the-art ship – including a Fitness and Beauty Corner and evening entertainment, along with the friendships made during this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
