Cruising through the spectacular waters around the Antarctic peninsula provides guests with plentiful opportunities to see icebergs, ice bridges and massive sheets of ice. Jagged mountain peaks rise ten thousand feet out of the sea along the sea’s edge, and towering glaciers drop giant ice clusters into the water below. Interested in the wildlife? The peninsula is teeming with breeding pairs of penguins , large albatross with 12-foot wingspans, Elephant, Weddell, Crabeater, Leopard, and Fur seals share the ice. Humpback, minke, and Orca whales can be spotted in the ocean waters from your ship, or while you are on a zodiac tour!
