Fly and Cruise Antarctica XXI
Antarctica is an ecological wonder that bewitches explorers, scientists and voyagers alike.
The Drake passage is a famously rough crossing which can act as a barrier for those who want to cruise around Antarctica.
But with this amazing fly-cruise Antarctic trip, you fly Cape Horn and Drake Passage, straight to Antarctica. Here, the Antarctica XXI programme will take you to one of the most remote places on earth, the coldest, highest, windiest, driest, and most inhospitable continent – Antarctica.
The Antarctic Continent keeps many hidden surprises for those who visit it. This fascinating territory contains more than 90% of the earth´s land ice, which transforms it into the largest sweet water reserve on earth.
Active adventure, great wildlife
Antarctica has remained hidden from man during the longest period of time and its first visitors arrived at these virgin frozen lands only two hundred years ago.
Its matchless beauty contrasts with extreme climatic conditions, all of which make it an exotic destination, truly hypnotizing for those few that reach this far away corner of the earth.
Among the main species that make up marine Antarctic fauna are Whales, Elephant Seals, Weddell Seals, Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo Penguins, as well as a variety of birds, such as Albatrosses, Petrels and Snowy Sheathbills.
On this adventure, not only do you have the opportunity of coming into contact with unique animals, but can also enjoy the awesome scenery made of glaciers, mountain and roaming icebergs. An amazing panorama that can only be found in Antarctica.
