Beginning in Puerto Montt, this journey takes you deep into the dramatic waterways of the Chilean fjords, a region carved by ancient glaciers and rich with untouched forest, waterfalls, and Indigenous heritage. As you sail south, navigate through narrow channels and past towering ice walls, witnessing the remote beauty of the Kawésqar homeland and iconic glaciers like Amalia.
The voyage continues through the Magellan Strait and onward to the windswept Falkland Islands, where nature thrives amid dramatic coastlines and colonial-era settlements. Albatrosses, sea lions, and several penguin species—including rockhopper and Magellanic—make this a wildlife lover’s paradise.
From there, cross into the sub-Antarctic realm of South Georgia, known for its massive king penguin colonies, elephant seals, and glacier-laced mountain ranges. A visit here often includes historic sites like Grytviken, where the story of Shackleton echoes across the landscape.
The expedition culminates with several days along the Antarctic Peninsula, a region of extraordinary natural beauty where icebergs drift silently and whales breach in still waters. With Zodiac landings, you may explore locations like Paradise Bay, Deception Island, and the wildlife-rich South Shetland Islands, experiencing the silence and scale of Earth’s last great wilderness.
This immersive journey offers a rare combination of temperate fjords and polar extremes—perfect for travelers seeking biodiversity, scenery, and meaningful exploration. Learn more or plan your expedition at North South Voyages.
