Antarctica beyond the Polar Circle – Wilkins Ice Shelf

Awe inspiring locations and exotic wildlife | 20 Days

This expedition voyage explores the rarely visited Bellingshausen Sea, Marguerite Bay, and Alexander Island. We focus on many places discovered by Adrien de Gerlache on his Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897 – 1899) aboard the Belgica. We’ll travel beyond the Antarctic Circle, where we aim to spend the rest of the trip. We’ll see ice shelves and land on islands where few people have set foot.
