TOP PLACES TO VISIT

The Antarctic Peninsula

The most iconic and accessible region of Antarctica, where towering glaciers, dramatic ice cliffs, and vast snow-covered mountains meet the Southern Ocean. Cruise through pristine fjords, step ashore at remote landing sites, and observe thriving colonies of penguins, seals resting on ice floes, and whales navigating icy waters. It is a breathtaking introduction to the raw beauty of the "White Continent."

The Drake Passage

The legendary stretch of ocean between Ushuaia—the southernmost city in the world—and Antarctica itself. Crossing the Drake is a true rite of passage, where a sense of anticipation builds as seabirds soar overhead and icy horizons slowly emerge. This journey marks the transition from the world as you know it to one of the planet’s last great wildernesses.

The Geographic South Pole

Located at the southernmost point on Earth, this symbolic destination represents the ultimate frontier. Surrounded by endless ice and silence, the South Pole embodies human exploration, scientific discovery, and extreme isolation. Visiting or flying over this region offers a profound sense of scale, remoteness, and the extraordinary nature of the continent.
