Drake Passage

What people say

"Known to be one of the roughest passages of ocean in the entire world, the Drake Passage is one of the main ways to get to Antarctica from South America. Historically, it has been crossed by some of the most well known explorers of the 20th century. It takes about 2 full days to cross the Drake from Ushuaia before arriving in Argentina. Along the way, there are chances of seeing seabirds & whales. "

In February 2022, I journeyed to Antarctica on an expedition with National Geographic and Lindblad Expedition.Though every trip to the southern continent has a different itinerary due to changing weather, this was ours. I hope it helps you decide to make your own journey to this pristine place. At the bottom, you can find information on how to book, as well as the answers to some questions I had when booking.
