For a short period in the southern hemisphere’s summer months there is a seasonal break up of the vast pack ice, which gives the specialist ships a passage through to the Antarctic Peninsula. Thousands of penguin, petrel and albatross come here to breed and seal colonies adorn the many ice floes.
Some cruises combine the Antarctic Peninsula with the opportunity to visit the wildlife havens of South Georgia Island and the Falkland Islands.
