The continent of Antarctica is fascinating and unique, but reaching this far-flung destination has long been a challenge. Antarctica has traditionally been reached through a sea journey in a vessel crossing the Drake Passage, which can have rough and icy waters. Due to technological advancements and increased demand for faster and more comfortable journeys, there is now a flight option to Antarctica with the added bonus of an aerial view of one of the most stunning destinations in the world.
You will take a chartered flight between Punta Arenas, Chile and Antarctica before embarking on the ship, eliminating the need to traverse the Drake Passage. The flight takes you soaring over icebergs, beaches with leopard seals and penguins who reside in the icy plateaus, and snow-capped mountains. Tour highlights include:
1. Take a chartered flight from Punta Arenas.
2. Get a bird's eye view of entire glaciers, ice-laden vistas, and beautiful shapes created by the icebergs.
3. Enjoy lectures and educational presentations from the environmentalists and specialists from Antarctica about the importance of the icebergs and ice sheets.
4. Check out the snowy ecosystem of wildlife who form part of the Antarctic ecology.
