Do you want to see Antarctica up close? If so, the specialists in polar travel at Antarctica Bound can help. We are experts when it comes to Antarctica and can listen closely to your requirements in order to match you up with the perfect break in this remotest part of the world. It takes less than two days to sail across the Drake Passage to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands from mainland South America and Ushuaia. The Passage takes its name from Sir Francis Drake, the 16th century explorer, and to say that crossing the passage can be an epic experience would be something of an understatement - although of course, we would always principally advise you to try it out for yourself! The Peninsula itself offers up to 24 hours of daylight during the summer and is home to some of the world's most intriguing wildlife, including various birds, cetaceans and pinnipeds, which travel to the area to take advantage of the sea's vast food resources. Quite simply, the possibilities for looking at wildlife in Antarctica are exceptional. All of the local waters play host to whales and dolphins, while there are also numerous varieties of penguin on land, ice and in the water. This part of the world also presents you with the chance to witness many rare and unique species of bird. Choose Antarctica if you wish to see species of whales and dolphins including Humpback, Sperm, Southern Bottlenose, Hourglass dolphin and the Arnoux's Beaked whale. You will have a big chance of seeing elephant and ross seals as well as Adelie, Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins, to name but a few.
