Witness humpback and minke whales feasting on krill against a backdrop of mesmerising icebergs, Zodiac cruise around ice floes spotting leopard seals, set foot on land amidst vast penguin colonies, hike to breath-taking panoramic viewpoints, and visit working scientific research stations and historic huts.
These itineraries may fly one or both ways across the Drake passage.
