WHEN TO GO

The Antarctic is easiest visited from the

tip of South America (Ushuaia) where the crossing to the Antarctic Peninsula is just

2 days \

The Antarctic summer lasts from late October to mid March and the daily temperature is around 0 – 5 degrees

Celsius.

Late October – December: The area is pristine and the best time to see massive icebergs. Feels more like an ‘expedition’.

Penguins abound and are nesting their eggs.

January: Penguins eggs begin to hatch and there is plenty of action going on around the colonies.

February - March: The mammals are out in full-force. The whales become more curious and you may spot the Orca,

Humpbacks or Minke species, as well as seals.
