Special
New Year Antarctic Air-Cruise
10 days/9 nights - Fly out & cruise back to Ushuaia
30 December, 2009 - 06 January, 2010 |
Jumping over Cape Horn and the mythical waters
of the Drake Passage, Antarctica XXI invites you to a unique experience that will take you
to one of the most remote places on earth, the coldest, highest, windiest, driest, and
most inhospitable continent - Antarctica. In a little over an hour and a half hours of
flight from Punta Arenas to King George Island, the largest Island of the South Shetland
Archipelago, you will be at the gates of the white continent. From King George Island we
will navigate for six days and five nights along the Antarctic Peninsula, visiting the
most wonderful places and enjoying the best wildlife sites of Antarctica. During the whole
journey we will be giving different lectures to introduce and inform you about this
wonderful Continent.
DAY 1:
Arrival at the city of Punta Arenas where you will be met by Antarctica XXI Staff, to be
later transferred to the selected hotel. During the afternoon, before dinner, you will
receive instructions in relation with the norms that should be followed in Antarctica and
about the procedures of embarkation and disembarkation. Later, you will enjoy our welcome
dinner at the José Nogueira Hotel, a centenary French style mansion, where you will have
the chance to meet your expedition mates.
DAY 2:
Our Antarctic adventure begins. Flight from Punta Arenas to King George Island (South
Shetland Islands). The flight takes a little over three hours. Upon arrival, we will be
able to tour around the area where the "Presidente Eduardo Frei M." Chilean Base
and "Bellingshausen" Russian Base are located. We will gather at the beach on
Fildes Bay for embarkation, by Zodiac boats, to our ship.
DAY 3 to 6:
As we cruise between the South Shetland Islands and the Peninsula, sailing along
ice-filled fjords and between spectacular icebergs, we will enjoy the company of sea
birds, penguins, seals and whales. Our journey toward the south may include visits to some
of the most magnificent spots in the white continent such as: Hannah Point, Port Lockroy, Petermann Island,
Paradise Bay, Cuverville and Deception Islands amongst others. Our adventure will be
full, with daily landings and cruises in Zodiac boats, selected lectures and an enjoyable
time on board.
DAY 7:
Return to King George Island where we will disembark, in Zodiac boats, at Fildes Bay by
"Presidente Eduardo Frei M." Chilean Base, and head to the "Teniente
Marsh" aerodrome at the Chilean Base to take the flight back to Punta Arenas. End of
program upon arrival at the Airport in Punta Arenas.
REMARKS:
Flights schedule and Antarctic itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions. At the
end of the program, a free transfer to the city will be available at the airport for all
passengers staying overnight.
