If time is an important consideration think about a unique air cruise option flying in a Canadian De Havilland Dash 7 aircraft from Punta Arenas over Cape Horn and the mythical Drake Passage to arrive in just over three hours directly to King George Island at the gates of the white continent.
From King George in the Shetland Islands navigate for six days and five nights on the Grigoriy Mikheev, a comfortable and modern ice strengthened research vessel, along the amazing Antarctic Peninsula. Tours, lectures and zodiac boat visits on the seas and ashore will introduce you to this wonderful continent. The Grigoriy Mikheev is 217 feet in length with a capacity of forty-six passengers in cabins over the main deck. All but six cabins have private facilities. In addition this vessel offers a dining room; lounge, bar, library, an infirmary, sauna and expert naturalist guides.
