Across Antartic Circle

Day 1:

We board our ship Polar Pioneer in Ushuaia in the afternoon, then sail down the Beagle Channel in the evening.

Day 2:

Overnight, weather permitting, we will have travelled into Drake Passage. During the day we will begin last minute preparation for our time ashore on Antarctica.

Day 3:

We expect to cross the Antarctic Convergence, the biological boundary of Antarctica, and may see our first icebergs. In the evening we approach the South Shetland Islands and, if we have had a quick passage, make our first landing and perhaps our first dive (if dive option selected).

Day 4-9:

For six days we plan to explore the western flanks of the Antarctic Peninsula as far south as the Antarctic Circle, where the waters abound with whales at this time of the season. We hope to enter the magical Crystal Sound and, if ice conditions are favourable, to navigate a passage into Marguerite Bay through a very narrow channel called The Gullet.

Day 10:
From Anvers and Brabant Islands, we head north into Drake Passage.
Day 11:
At Sea. Our last day of lectures and the final opportunity to enjoy the seabirds of the Southern Ocean. A cruise past Cape Horn (weather permitting, of course) and a farewell dinner provide a fitting finale.
Day 12:
We travel up the Beagle Channel to disembark in Ushuaia. Farewell new found friends as we follow our seperate paths. For those staying in Ushuaia, the rest of the day can be spent at leisure in "The Town At The End Of The World".
Activities for Across the Antarctic Circle
Fascinating experiences in the world of ice - glaciers, gigantic icebergs and spectacular icewalls - characterise a scuba diving voyage to Antarctica. The combination of sunlight, sea-water and the often extraordinary formations of ice, create an overwhelming, ever-changing colour spectrum, with a fantastic variety of shades and brilliance. Offering a unique array of marine life; such as sea-snails, crabs, sea butterflies, fish, jelly-fish, sponges and starfish, we also hope to meet seals and penguins underwater and maybe even whales!
