12 day voyage 11 nights on board Ortelius
An exciting voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula
escorted by the effervescent Dr Karl
Returning to Antarctica for a fourth time, Dr Karl’s infectious enthusiasm for this dramatic region will make you marvel at every turn. Crossing the fabled Drake Passage, we explore a remote pocket of the Antarctic Peninsula with its spectacular wildlife and awe‐inspiring vistas. Spot Adelie penguins, blue‐eyed shags as well as leopard seals and a vast array of seabirds. There’s also a good chance you’ll encounter humpback and minke whales. The unique program provides opportunities to explore the area by a variety of means, including kayaking, hiking/snowshoeing, climbing and zodiac cruising. For those feeling adventurous there is an option to camp on the ice, and there will also be photographic workshops aboard. Dr Karl is also optimistic that we can get some useful citizen science happening to collect data that will be useful for scientists.
