Antarctica Landing Expedition
PUQ-150 | Punta Arenas, Chile
10 hours
from $2,999.00
Fly to the icy southern continent of Antarctica for a full-day excursion to one of the continent's oldest meteorological station. View the area's glaciers, landscape and wildlife on a guided hike. Meals and energy treats are provided. As weather conditions are harsh, this excursion is not for the faint-hearted.
Your full-day tour begins as you board your chartered plane for the approximately 2.5-hour flight to Villa Las Estrellas, a Chilean Antarctic settlement. After take-off, you'll enjoy a light continental breakfast and a welcome glass of champagne or juice.
Antarctica is the Earth's southernmost continent, encapsulating the South Pole. It's the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages at least 1.0 miles in thickness. Its mountains cover such a significant area that it makes it on average the highest of the seven continents. In addition, it is also the windiest, coldest and less populated area on the planet.
Upon arriving in Antarctica, you'll tour the research center, one of the continent's oldest and most important meteorological stations. Weather permitting embark on a zodiac to Ardley Island, a marine protected area where Papua Penguin colonies live. During your trip, you'll enjoy energy bars, water, juice and chocolate.
Although wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, you may catch sight of the Chinstrap penguin, recognized by the narrow band of black feathers that extends from ear to ear, just below the chin and the cheeks. Perhaps you'll see the Gentoo penguin that sports a wide white stripe extending like a bonnet across the top of its head, or the waddling Adelie penguin with its signature white "tuxedo shirt" front. You may even see a killer (orca) whale or baleen whale with its pair of blowholes.
After a fascinating four hours at Villa Las Estrellas, you'll board your plane for a relaxing return flight to Punta Arenas. On board, you'll enjoy cold crab salad, roast beef and broccoli, wine or soft drinks, and cake and coffee, as well as savor memories of a fantastic day of exploration.
