South Shetland Islands

What people say

"The South Shetland Islands are a bit further north than the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, so they were the first place that we actually saw plants growing! Well, not really plants, but moss and grass. There are two types of plants that grow in this area, both are moss/grass like. This area is also famous for its history of whaling in the area."

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.
