Experience one of the planet’s most wildlife-rich journeys on a small ship expedition through the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. Beginning in Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, this voyage takes you across the Southern Ocean to lands where nature reigns supreme. The Falklands offer rugged beauty, windswept cliffs and rich birdlife. Continue to South Georgia, often called the "Serengeti of the Southern Ocean," where millions of penguins, seals and seabirds crowd the beaches and hills. Visit historic whaling stations, pay tribute at Shackleton’s grave and witness the grandeur of glaciers and ice-clad peaks. With unforgettable Zodiac landings, expert-led wildlife encounters and incredible light for photography, this expedition offers a rare chance to explore one of the world’s last true wildernesses in depth.
