Overview
The fascinating history and overwhelming wildlife populations of the
Sub-Antarctic combined with the awesome beauty of Antarctica itself
The journey begins in the Falklands with its large population of Rockhopper
and Magellanic penguins, along with Black-browed albatross. In South Georgia,
the ship threads her way through magical fjords to Salisbury Plain and Gold
Harbour, places so remote that they have evolved into astonishing wildlife
havens boasting a 100,000-plus population of King penguins on their
beaches.The voyage continues to an enchanted world of icebergs and
ice-covered mountains in the bays and channels of the Antarctic Peninsula.
This is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife: penguins of almost all
