ANTARCTICA · ARGENTINA

The seventh continent
The last end of the planet

Glaciers move. The midnight light transforms everything every hour.

Wildlife exists in its purest state: penguins, leopard seals, whales, and elephant seals welcome the visitor with the same calm with which they inhabit the continent.

Nature in its most direct expression. That is, precisely, what makes it relevant.

THE TERRITORY

14 million km² where nature operates on another scale

During the southern summer —the only possible window, between November and March— the sun remains above the horizon for weeks. The light changes its texture every hour and sustains itself.

The wildlife moves with total naturalness before the visitor. Penguins, leopard seals, and elephant seals go about their lives just a few meters away. Whales accompany the boat trip.

Many of the species that inhabit these latitudes can only be observed in this part of the world: colonies of king penguins, gentoo penguins, and chinstrap penguins, along with seabirds and mammals adapted to an extreme environment.

That closeness generates a rare emotion: that of understanding that here the human presence is barely one more part of the landscape.

The Drake Passage —the waters between Cape Horn and the Antarctic Peninsula— is sailed in open sea, with no land in sight for days.

The movement of the ship, the horizon of water to the edge, the silence of the distance. For some it is the beginning of the experience. For all, it is the start of detachment.

A continent that leaves a mark hard to erase.

THE JOURNEY

Two gateway doors to the white continent

Antarctica is reached by ship from Ushuaia or Punta Arenas, or by flying from Punta Arenas.

By ship
Shipments depart mainly from Ushuaia, in Argentina, or from Punta Arenas, in Chile.

From Ushuaia, the journey crosses the Beagle Channel and enters the Drake Passage, about 1,000 km of open ocean separating the southernmost tip of South America from the South Shetland Islands.

A 36- to 48-hour crossing that is already part of the experience: whales, albatrosses, and petrels usually escort the ship during this first leg.

VOlando
From Punta Arenas, a direct flight to Antarctica allows you to embark at your destination and maximize your days on the continent.

The transition
Fjords, southern channels, snow-capped mountains, and endless horizons accompany the first days of the journey, marking a gradual transition toward a world dominated by ice and ocean.

The record changes before the continent appears.

WHAT CAN BE EXPERIENCED HERE

Every day in Antarctica is different
That is part of the design

— Navigation among icebergs

Antarctic icebergs vary in shape and size, some of remarkable dimensions. Navigating among them at slow speed, with silence on board, is an experience of incomparable scale.

— Landings ashore

Landings are made in Zodiacs, toward a continent without roads or signs, only the remains of a whaling station abandoned a century ago.

— Ice trekking

Glacier surface walk, with crampons and a mountain guide. Each step on thousands-of-years-old blue ice produces a physical awareness of time unique to this place.

— Kayaking in Antarctic waters

The silence is absolute, interrupted barely by the cracking of an iceberg or the blow of a whale in the distance. At water level, the scale of the white continent is perceived differently.

— Jump into Antarctic waters

Jumping into the freezing waters surrounding Antarctica is a brief moment of extreme temperature and adrenaline. The body reacts before the mind: the cold erases any other thought.

— Night ashore

Spending a night on the white continent, far from the ship, under the constant light of the austral summer. Sleeping on the ice, in absolute silence, turns the immensity of the landscape into something intimate and personal.

KNOWLEDGE

The continent, explained by those who study it

Between landings, Antarctica is also discovered through those who study it. Onboard lectures turn every encounter with a glacier, a penguin colony, or a whale into something more meaningful.

It is not just about observing the white continent, but about understanding the natural forces that shape it and the life that depends on it.

Antarctica

The last great wilderness on the planet

Remote, immense, and extraordinary, it rewards those who reach it with experiences that few live and no one forgets.

Let's coordinate the journey. Antarctica begins with the right conversation.
