The Antarctic is Waiting To Be Explored.
To experience the Antarctic Peninsula is to witness minke and humpback whales at close range, and to gaze upon icebergs of every conceivable shape and size in the bays, fjords, and inlets. Visitors can observe penguin colonies, or stand in awe at the sight (and sounds) of mammoth glaciers calving. The sub-Antarctic destinations of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia are also not to be missed. Both islands are known as meccas for wildlife with epic displays of animals congregating by the thousands.
