Day 1
Today our photo tour commences as we depart from Ushuaia, sailing out the Beagle channel and into the Drake Passage.

Day 2
We will cross the Drake Passage and begin our journey towards Antarctica. Our photography begins almost immediately with Albatross, Petrels and many other sea birds that follow our ship as we traverse the Drake. We will have a number of briefings and lectures during the voyage in order to help us prepare for the first photography session on our Antarctica tour.

Days 4 to 12
We will be visiting some of the best areas for wildlife and landscape photography during our time in Antarctica. Areas we plan to visit include Antarctic Sound (home of gigantic tabular icebergs), the surreal Deception Island in Whalers Bay (home of rusty whaler’s remnants), Astrolabe and south toward the spectacular Lemaire channel. We will take advantage of weather and light to maximise our photographic opportunities at all times, weather and ice depending.
