ITINERARY
Day
1: Arrive in Punta Arenas, Chile
Your
adventure begins in Punta Arenas, Chile, the most populated city in
southern Patagonia. If you arrive early, there are many museums,
restaurants and shops to keep you busy for days. By early afternoon, a
Quark Expeditions representative will meet you at the official starting
point hotel, where you’ll enjoy a welcome dinner and be
briefed about preparing for your embarkation day.
Day
2: Fly to King George Island and Embarkation
Your
charter flight from Punta Arenas to Antarctica will enable you to cross
the legendary Drake Passage in only two hours, while far below, the
ship will approach King George Island for your arrival. Your first
glimpse of dramatic Antarctic landscapes will be from a unique
perspective, as your plane descends onto the South Shetland Islands.
After landing, make your way to the shore, before being transferred by
Zodiac to your ship to set sail for the Antarctic Peninsula!
Day
3 - 6: Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands
There
are few places in the world as evocative as Antarctica. The Antarctic
Continent is indescribable and can only be fully appreciated through
your own eyes.
As
your Captain and Expedition Team keep a lookout for whales and
seabirds, you’ll be alerted to any new sightings. Our team of
expert presenters will deepen your experience with explanations of the
glaciology, history and wildlife of the region, and presentations on
photography to help you take memory- catching images.
Even
more exciting are your daily excursions. Your first Zodiac landing is
something you’ll never forget! Walking on a shore inhabited
by thousands of penguins is the most intimate way to experience the
unique wildlife of Antarctica.
Each
landing is different and is dependent on weather, but every day
presents new sightings and photo opportunities, and it won’t
be long before you can tell the difference between Adélie,
gentoo and chinstrap penguins.
You
may take a Zodiac cruise in search of whales and icebergs one day,
followed by a hike to a penguin rookery the next day. From the booming
sound of a calving glacier to the thrill of spotting apex predators
like leopard seals and orcas in action, you’ll wake up early
and welcome each day with a sense of adventure and a desire to explore
during this unrivaled wilderness experience.
Your
Expedition Team will accompany you all along the way, providing
insights into the places you visit.
Day
7: Disembarkation and Fly to Punta Arenas
After
your week of exploration, you’ll say goodbye to your
Expedition Team and disembark at King George Island. Your two-hour
flight across the Drake Passage to Punta Arenas, Chile, brings your
adventure to an end. After your group transfer to the hotel, you are
free to explore and enjoy an evening on your own, in the city or at the
hotel to reminisce about the sights and sounds of Antarctica.
Day
8: Depart Punta Arenas
After
breakfast, you are welcome to continue on your own travels or make your
way to the Punta Arenas airport.
