Visit the South Shetland Islands
The South Shetland Islands are about 200 km north of the Antarctic Peninsula. There are more than 20 wild islands in the archipelago, including King George Island, where several scientists and research stations are based. Several whales, seals and penguins frequent these coastal shores providing incredible opportunities for wildlife photography. Over 80% of the islands are glaciated, and the towering black rocks that punctuate the landscape contrast with the shocking white of the ice and snow.
These example itineraries are here to get you inspired, but no two True Travel holidays are the same. Our Antarctica experts start planning each trip with a blank piece of paper, designing every itinerary 100% personalised to you.
