The tour "Quest For The Antarctic Circle" starts from and ends in Ushuaia. This is a photography trip that takes 14 days taking you through Ushuaia, Antarctic Peninsula, Drake Passage and South Shetland Islands in Antarctica and Argentina. This is a self-guided group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
A massive rookery of penguins shuffles across a frozen shore; a pod of whales glides through frigid waters; dramatic landscapes float off in the distance — welcome to Antarctica. Join us on a voyage of discovery to our planet’s last frontier — a mysterious and virtually pristine paradise. Our ice-strengthened expedition ship is ideally suited to cruising this icy wilderness, and her expert staff are on hand to ensure you’ll fully appreciate all the majesty you encounter. Sail the Drake Passage past the South Shetland Islands, then really explore the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Prepare yourself for an adventure like no other — more like a private expedition than a traditional cruise.
