Antarctic Peninsula, Argentina

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost part of Antarctica, stretching toward the southern tip of South America and accessible primarily via expedition voyages departing from Ushuaia, Argentina. It is one of the most dramatic wilderness destinations on Earth, renowned for its towering icebergs, glaciers, and ice shelves set against a stark polar landscape. Wildlife is a major draw, with massive colonies of penguins — including Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Adélie species — alongside humpback whales, leopard seals, and seabirds. Adventurous travellers come for zodiac cruises, kayaking among ice floes, and the rare privilege of setting foot on the world's last great frontier.

Antarctic Peninsula: Crossing the Circle – Self-Launched Expedition

One of the world's most awe-inspiring voyages — crossing the Antarctic Circle and exploring the White Continent — doesn't have to come with a luxury operator price tag. This self-launched version follows the same 14-day route (Buenos Aires → Ushuaia → Drake Passage → South Shetland Islands → Antarctic Peninsula → Antarctic Circle → back), but replaces the bundled operator package with an independently booked expedition cruise berth, budget accommodation in Buenos Aires, and self-arranged charter flights to Ushuaia. Note: Antarctica is inherently expedition territory — there is no true DIY access without a vessel. The key saving here is booking directly with an Antarctic cruise operator (e.g. Quark Expeditions, Poseidon Expeditions, or Polar Latitudes) rather than through a premium reseller like Exodus, and opting for the lowest cabin category. All cost estimates are approximate and per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Antarctic Peninsula, Argentina yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
