Explorers' Quest
Combine Antarctica Travel with the Falkland Islands & South Georgia

 

 

Antarctica; a vast expanse of exquisite ice and wildlife that has adapted in extraordinary fashion to the cold. Earth's seventh continent is a place you simply must visit and experience with your own senses!

 

Three different environments, seven penguin species and diverse landscapes make IE’s expedition aboard the Clipper Adventurer an ideal Antarctica cruise. Antarctica's diversity is best experienced on longer voyages, and this small-group Antarctica cruise combines the Antarctic Peninsula with the bird-rich Falklands and historic South Georgia.

 

In the Falklands (Malvinas), Zodiacs will zip you ashore to hike where kelp geese graze and Magellanic penguins guard their burrows. On South Georgia, you'll visit king penguin rookeries and the grave of Sir Ernest Shackleton. Abandoned whaling stations will become subjects of photographs. In Antarctica, travel to Deception Island, Neko Harbour and Paradise Harbour — names that conjure iconic images of the quintessential Antarctic adventure. During our glacier tours, you will be awestruck by the towering, glacier-capped mountains rising from a brilliant blue sea, dotted with ice floes.
 
To make the most of your time in Antarctica, travel with a knowledgeable expedition team for an enlightening and fun tour! International Expeditions’ tour of Antarctica cruises past wildlife-rich sites and offers daily shore excursions and glacier tours for the ultimate adventure to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands.
