From the Andes to Antarctica: Explore the Scotia Arc

Join Lynne Givler and Keith Carpenter as they share their experience exploring this remarkable region aboard Quark Expedition’s Sea Spirit. Learn about the natural and cultural history of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and venture onward to the South Sandwich Islands, perhaps one of the least visited areas on the planet. Circling back towards the Antarctic Peninsula come ashore at Elephant Island where 22 members of Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance expedition survived for 135 days. And finally step foot on the southernmost continent itself. See photos ranging from penguins to icebergs and old whaling stations to southern right whales selected from the hundreds posted by all of the travelers on the ship.
