Join Peter as he experiences a much closer encounter with Emperors. 20 In the Wake of Shackleton 30 Days. Argentina, Antarctica, South Georgia, Falklands, Chile. Trip Code PSW Only one vessel can effectively navigate the Weddell Sea: the Kapitan Khlebnikov, a ship capable of going into the spectacular icy seascapes that others cannot, with huge rewards. The epitome of the Weddell Sea is massive tabular icebergs, and watching these glide silently past the ship is a remarkable experience. By zodiac, on foot and in the air, islands and continental shores are explored, whose residents are Chinstraps and Adelies in huge numbers. Leaving Antarctica behind, the journey continues to South Georgia, home to the most extraordinary ornithological phenomenon. The vast King Penguin rookeries are incomparable, and witnessing this marvel is an unforgettable experience. South Georgia also has a long and fascinating history, from Cook's first landing, through years of both whaling and sealing, and including Shackleton's remarkable feat during the Endurance Expedition. Sail the same seas as on Shackleton's Endurance Expedition on the 95th anniversary of the sinking of the Endurance.
